Leonard Young, 33, was found shot to death inside a car in the Mount Ararat Church parking lot in the Larimer neighborhood of Pittsburgh on the morning of April 18, 2014. His body was discovered about 8 a.m.; neighbors later reported hearing gunshots near 3 a.m. Young had been shot twice in the chest and the vehicle’s back window was shattered, apparently by gunfire.

The initial investigation produced no immediate suspects or clear motive. Security camera footage from the nearby church later captured the incident and became a key piece of evidence. In April 2015 the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Homicide Squad, with help from the U.S. Marshals Service, arrested 18-year-old Justin Bonner at a home in the city’s West End and charged him with Young’s homicide. Bonner reportedly gave a taped statement saying he was present during the shooting but denied firing the shots, implicating another person; police said the investigation remained ongoing. Bonner also faced marijuana possession with intent to deliver charges.

If anyone has information about Leonard Young, the shooting, or the person Bonner referenced, please share what is known.
