Donte Dawkins, 29, was killed on January 20, 2016, in a double homicide in the Esplen neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Dawkins and 24-year-old Divine Barrett were both fatally shot in what is described as a targeted attack at their residence; the shooting occurred on a public street and was heard by police officers who were nearby. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Family members and community advocates have pleaded for justice, and Dawkins’ face was used on a billboard offering rewards for information, but lack of witness cooperation and limited police communication have been cited as obstacles.

If anyone knew Donte Dawkins, saw activity in Esplen on January 20, 2016, or has information that could help, please come forward and share what you know.
