Rasheed Strader, an 18-year-old from Pittsburgh, was shot and killed on March 24, 2014, outside his mother’s home on Goettman Street. Reports say he was shot multiple times by 20-year-old Theodore Smedley of Troy Hill; Smedley later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in Strader’s death and was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison for that killing.

Investigators tied Smedley to two other deaths. The bodies of Jamarow Trowery, 36, and Rashad Freeman, 18, were found in a Cadillac Escalade in Garfield the day after Strader’s murder; the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office sought the death penalty in connection with those killings and Smedley’s trial on them was ongoing. Charles Nevels, identified as Smedley’s cousin, faced charges including arson, attempted homicide, and witness intimidation after an alleged fire at the Goettman Street home of a witness, which injured a resident who jumped from a second-floor window to escape.
