Rashad Freeman was an 18-year-old African American male who was shot and killed on March 25, 2014, in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood. His body was found inside a black Cadillac Escalade that had crashed into the back of a church. Freeman’s death was one of three related killings that also claimed Jamarow Trowery, 36, and Rasheed Strader, 18.

A 20-year-old man, Theodore Smedley of Troy Hill, was indicted by a grand jury on charges tied to all three deaths. Prosecutors initially sought the death penalty; the investigation noted Smedley had prior felony convictions and that he allegedly wrote rap lyrics referencing the killings. Smedley later pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter and a firearms charge for the deaths of Trowery and Freeman and received a five- to ten-year sentence to run consecutively with a longer term for Strader’s death.

Does anyone have additional information about Freeman’s life in Garfield or saw anything relevant around March 25, 2014?
