Steve Robertson, a 33-year-old Black man from Squirrel Hill South, was shot on East Carson Street just after 10 p.m. on October 12, 2025. Officers already patrolling the busy South Side Flats corridor responded to a single gunshot in the 1200 block between South 12th and South 13th Streets and found Robertson on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the neck. He was treated at the scene and taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead at 10:27 p.m.

Detectives recovered surveillance footage from nearby businesses and the city’s Real Time Crime Center reviewed video of the block. One clip shows patrons in line outside a bar seconds before the shot, followed by people scattering and officers moving in. Investigators also learned a white sedan was seen accelerating away as police rendered aid. As of the day after the killing, no arrests had been announced and no suspect or motive was publicly identified.

If anyone who was on East Carson Street that night or who recognizes the white sedan or other details from the surveillance clips can help, please share what is known with investigators.
