On the morning of Tuesday, July 18, 2017, Terrell Wright, a 41-year-old Black man from Murrysville, was shot and killed outside an apartment building on Auburn Street in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 10:20 a.m.; the city’s ShotSpotter system registered at least five shots. The incident also killed 18-year-old Jaymerie M. Washington of Pittsburgh.

Investigators did not immediately announce a motive. Police were examining a possible connection to a drug operation that had produced multiple arrests at the same apartment complex the night before, but officials did not confirm any link. A black Cadillac Escalade was towed from the scene as part of the probe. Family members said Terrell had been laid off but was preparing to start a new job; his mother, Stephanie Pollard, said she had already lost another son, Jorman Wright Jr., to gun violence in 2011, and a brother, Joshua Wright, had been arrested near the location hours before the July 18 shootings.

As of early 2018 no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced; the double homicide investigation remained open. Did anyone see the Escalade or activity around Auburn Street that morning?
