On the afternoon of Thursday, August 1, 2013, 36-year-old Augustus ’Gus’ Cicero McClain was found shot to death in the driver’s seat of his 2013 Ford Escape at the intersection of Murtland and Mount Vernon streets in Pittsburgh’s Homewood neighborhood. The shooting happened shortly after 1 p.m.; McClain was pronounced dead at 1:39 p.m. Investigators reported he had been shot multiple times in the head, torso, and arms.

A 911 caller said they heard four gunshots and saw a Black male running from the vehicle; that person was described as medium skin, with short cropped hair, wearing a gray T-shirt and black shorts. Officers canvassed the neighborhood but encountered reluctance from potential witnesses to come forward. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced, and McClain left behind a wife, children, and a large extended family.

Does anyone who lived in Homewood at the time or who knew Gus have information that could help clarify what happened that afternoon?
