Gerald L. Bogan III, 23, was shot and killed in Pittsburgh’s Hill District on the evening of October 2, 2025. ShotSpotter detected three rounds just before 7 p.m., and officers responding to the 600 block of Perry Street found Bogan with at least one gunshot wound to the chest. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival; the Allegheny County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity.

Pittsburgh’s Violent Crime Unit led the investigation and a suspect was arrested the next day. Eighteen-year-old Dontae Lewis of Pittsburgh was taken into custody and booked in the Allegheny County Jail on charges that include criminal homicide, carrying a firearm without a license, and tampering with physical evidence. A preliminary hearing for Lewis was scheduled for October 17.

What information can anyone provide about Gerald Bogan’s activities that evening or witnesses on Perry Street?
