Shaquille Maynor was 19 when he was fatally shot in a double homicide at the Homewood North apartment complex in Pittsburgh on December 14, 2015. Police were alerted just after midnight by ShotSpotter that nine rounds had been fired at a Brushton Avenue apartment building. Officers found Maynor and 21-year-old Tajour Embry both shot to death in a first-floor hallway.

That night saw multiple reports of gunfire across Homewood, with earlier ShotSpotter alerts on Bennett, Kelly, and Idlewild Streets; those earlier incidents produced no known injuries and police could not confirm whether they were connected to the hallway killings. Neighbors say the frequency of gunfire has made daily life precarious, with families taking precautions to keep children away from doors and windows. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone in Homewood that night saw or heard anything that could help identify who was responsible, please come forward with information.
