Gevod Tyson, 24, was shot during a dispute on the 1100 block of Wade Street near Maratta Road in Aliquippa on the night of October 14, 2025. Emergency crews were dispatched around 9:05 p.m.; Tyson was found at the scene with a gunshot wound to the leg and later died at Heritage Valley Sewickley in Allegheny County.

Tyson was known locally for anti-violence work and coaching youth, and his death prompted vigils, a balloon release and other public memorials in the city. State police and local authorities described the shooting as stemming from a confrontation—reported by some outlets as a custody dispute—and identified a suspect quickly. The following day, 25-year-old Taevaughn Goodnight of Baden was apprehended and jailed without bail and has been charged with homicide in connection with Tyson’s death.

Anyone who witnessed the confrontation on Wade Street around 9:05 p.m. on October 14 or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
