Donald Harris Jr. was 20 when he was shot and killed in Pittsburgh’s Hill District shortly before 12:45 a.m. on July 16, 2015. Harris, an East Liberty resident, and an 18-year-old companion had been visiting a home in the neighborhood and were getting into a vehicle in the 200 block of Lombard Street when an unidentified man approached on foot and opened fire. Harris, who was entering the driver’s seat, was struck multiple times, ran about 30 feet, then collapsed and was pronounced dead at the scene.

His passenger sustained a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to a hospital in serious condition. Police found the car riddled with bullets and canvassed the area, but by a November 2015 city homicide report no arrests had been made. No later reports indicate the shooting has been solved.

Was anyone in the Hill District that night able to see or hear something that could help explain who approached the car?
