Lanair Roberts Jr., 19, of Pittsburgh’s North Side, was found shot on September 11, 2014 in the 4000 block of Perrysville Avenue. He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. No arrests had been announced at the time, and details about possible suspects remained unclear, leaving his family and neighborhood without answers.

Roberts’ killing came amid a sharp rise in homicides across Pittsburgh in 2014, a year that saw the highest number of killings in five years and a troubling concentration of violence against young Black males. Many cases from that year remained unsolved, highlighting ongoing public safety and investigative challenges in the city.
