Trula Dobbins, a 35-year-old man from the Hill District in Pittsburgh, was shot to death after an argument at a neighborhood bar on Webster Avenue on April 21, 2015. The altercation escalated into a shooting around 9 p.m.; Dobbins was struck multiple times in the chest and torso and was taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital, where he died at 9:48 p.m. A 37-year-old man was also wounded, hit in the elbow and thigh, and was reported in stable condition.

Several patrons were present when the argument turned violent, but despite multiple witnesses none have been charged and the case remains unsolved. Dobbins lived in the Hill District, a neighborhood noted for a long history of violence and a high proportion of unsolved homicides in 2015. His family and community continue to seek information and accountability.

If anyone was in that Webster Avenue bar that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist the investigation.
