Amaree Keshawn Lee Dawson, a 23-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Pittsburgh’s Southside Flats in the early morning of March 29, 2026. Around 2:30 a.m. ShotSpotter alerts for multiple gunshots brought South Side Entertainment Patrol members to the intersection of 18th and East Carson Streets, where officers found Dawson in the street with multiple gunshot wounds.

Responding officers applied chest seals and provided aid until paramedics arrived. Dawson was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition and was pronounced dead a short time later. The Violent Crime Division has opened a homicide investigation. No arrests have been announced in connection with Dawson’s death; a separate, unrelated shooting that night did result in a suspect being taken into custody.
