Stefon Reed, 23, was fatally shot and found with multiple gunshot wounds on January 29, 2015, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His death came during a spike in violence that made 2015 one of the deadliest years in Allegheny County since 2008. Reed’s homicide remains open and no arrests have been reported.

The broader pattern that year affected many young Black men: of 114 homicides in Allegheny County in 2015, about 78 percent of victims were Black and most were under 35, and roughly 85 percent of those killings involved a firearm. Investigators say a lack of witnesses willing to come forward has complicated the probe into Reed’s death, and many cases from 2015 remain unsolved.

Anyone who has information about Stefon Reed’s killing is asked to contact investigators to help bring justice to his family and community.
