A late-night argument in Pittsburgh’s Homewood North neighborhood on March 7, 2025, ended with the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Therreus Lindsey inside a Mount Vernon Street house he shared with his identical twin brother, Darius, and their mother. The disturbance began about 11:30 p.m. after 36-year-old housemate Preslin Turner came downstairs accusing someone of being in his room. A brief but intense fight followed; Darius said he and his brother stepped in after Turner disrespected their mother and that he put Turner in a chokehold until Therreus told him to stop.

Prosecutors and the family say Turner then went upstairs, retrieved a handgun, returned and shot Darius in the back as he walked away, and then shot Therreus—standing over him and firing a second time as Therreus lay face down. Turner’s account differed: he said he had been jumped, choked nearly unconscious, already had his gun on him, and fired after breaking free because he feared for his life; a screwdriver was later found under Therreus’s body. Turner was arrested on multiple charges including criminal homicide and attempted homicide; the jury rejected the self-defense claim and convicted him of first-degree murder.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see activity around the house that night or notice the people involved before the shooting?
