On the night of April 26, 2016, 42-year-old Aaron Govostes was shot to death during a home invasion on Gorman Way in Pittsburgh’s South Oakland neighborhood. Three unidentified men forced their way into the house at about 10:15 p.m. and immediately confronted Govostes’ mother, Valery, holding her at gunpoint and demanding money; one of the intruders fired a shot at her when she could not say where money was kept. Valery hid her two grandchildren, ages 13 and 14, in the attic while the assailants went upstairs and encountered Govostes, shooting him multiple times in the doorway of his room.

Police found Govostes deceased at the scene. Investigators reported marijuana and cash in the home and believe the suspects targeted Govostes because he kept savings at home, including tax refunds he was setting aside for his children’s college. No suspects or descriptions of the three men have been publicly released.

Does anyone who lived in South Oakland in April 2016 remember suspicious activity or people in the area that night?
