Rashad Freeman was 19 and from Verona, Pennsylvania, when he was killed on March 25, 2014, in Pittsburgh. He and another man, Jamarow Trowery, were found with gunshot wounds in an SUV that had struck the Radiant Life Alliance Church on Kincaid Street in the Garfield neighborhood. Rashad suffered a gunshot wound to the neck; Trowery was shot in the chest. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene after the vehicle crashed following the shooting.

Reports say the two may have been on their way to pick up another person when the shooting occurred. Investigators have not announced any arrests, and the circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear. Rashad’s death was one of many homicides that year affecting young Black men in the city, a trend noted as contributing to a higher 2014 homicide rate in Pittsburgh.

Anyone who knew Rashad, saw the SUV on March 25, 2014, or has information about the events leading to the shooting is asked to come forward.
