Jeffrey Brown, a 47-year-old Black man from Boston, was shot and killed while visiting family in Pittsburgh on September 17, 2014. The shooting occurred just after 6 p.m. at the intersection of Collier Street and Fletcher Way. He suffered at least one gunshot wound to the head, managed to move from the scene down an alley and across a vacant lot on Hermitage Street, and was pronounced dead at 6:06 p.m. in the 7300 block of Hermitage Street.

Pittsburgh public safety officials canvassed the neighborhood and the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Brown’s identity and cause of death. In the early stages investigators reported no suspect information. As of early 2015 the investigation remained open with no arrests announced and no suspects publicly identified.

Anyone who was in Homewood on the evening of September 17, 2014, or who has information about activity near Collier Street, Fletcher Way, or Hermitage Street that night is asked to come forward.
