On a November afternoon in 2016, 22-year-old Niles Young was shot in a parking lot near the Maplewood Apartments in Pittsburgh’s East Hills while working on a car. Assailants came from a nearby wooded area and opened fire, discharging at least 15 rounds toward Young and others present. Young was struck multiple times in the back and was taken to a hospital, where he died about an hour after the shooting.

Three other people were hurt: a 29-year-old woman was shot in the arm, an 11-year-old girl was grazed on the foot while sitting in a nearby car, and an 8-year-old boy inside a residence was injured by shattered glass. Police said they had no description of the shooters, no information on how many assailants were involved, and no known motive. The homicide remains under investigation with no arrests announced.

If anyone saw activity near the Maplewood Apartments that afternoon or has information about who emerged from the woods, please come forward.
