On the night of Sunday, February 19, 2017, 16-year-old Derrick Brown was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head in a courtyard along Mt. Pleasant Road in Pittsburgh’s Northview Heights neighborhood. First responders transported him to Allegheny General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead; the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators marked dozens of pieces of evidence at the scene. Additional gunshots were fired in the area while police were still processing the scene, and neighbors described persistent gunfire in the neighborhood. Family and community members mourned Derrick as a good boy who just wanted to be a kid; his mother, Tamarra Goodwine, had previously lost Derrick’s father to gun violence five years earlier. No arrests have been announced in connection with the killing.

Does anyone who lived in Northview Heights that night or who knew Derrick have information that could help investigators?
