Michael Burkes was 32 when he was shot dead on the front porch of his Marena Street home in the Elliott neighborhood of Pittsburgh on the morning of Thursday, April 24, 2014. He had been leaving for a roofing job with his one-year-old son secured in the car; police believe Burkes may have briefly returned to the house before the shooting. The child was later found unharmed in the nearby vehicle.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. Family members described Burkes as someone trying to turn his life around for his fiancée and son; his past included several arrests and two prior acquittals on homicide charges. Police appealed to the public for help but made no arrests in the immediate aftermath, and by early 2015 the investigation remained active with the killer unidentified.

Did anyone in Elliott at the time see a vehicle or person near Marena Street that morning who hasn’t yet come forward?
