On the early morning of August 13, 2016, 20-year-old Raekwon Epps was sitting in a chair on the 800 block of Brushton Avenue in Homewood when an unknown person approached and shot him multiple times. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Epps had hoped to pursue a career as a rapper.

Investigators looked into his ties to the local rap scene and the possibility the killing was retaliatory after a rap video Epps appeared in was released hours before the shooting. Several witnesses were present that night, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests reported. Epps’s mother, Lisa Epps, and the Pittsburgh Police have publicly urged anyone with information to come forward; a reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest.

Does anyone who lived in Homewood in August 2016 or who knew Raekwon or his circle have information that could help bring justice?
