Shortly before 4:00 AM on January 22, 2017, a home invasion in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood ended with the death of 57-year-old Christopher Thompkins. Thompkins and his ex-wife Brenda Richmond woke to find an intruder, later identified as Juan Jeter-Clark, in their Finley Street home. Thompkins asked Richmond to hand over her gun and call police, then followed the intruder downstairs because he was worried about his mother.

Officers responding to a reported burglary encountered gunfire as they tried to enter the house; shots were fired by a male coming down the staircase. Thompkins was struck and pronounced dead at the scene at 4:08 AM. Jeter-Clark was taken into custody and charged with criminal trespass; the two officers involved were placed on administrative leave while the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the shooting.

Did anyone in Larimer at that time see or hear anything that could shed more light on what happened that night?
