Dejour Gadsden, 17, was shot and killed in Pittsburgh’s Hill District on May 11, 2013. Police found him unresponsive on White Hill Drive at about 11:55 p.m. with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A female victim was also wounded and taken to UPMC Mercy for treatment.

Authorities say three men wearing black masks entered the residence where Gadsden was located and opened fire, then fled in a silver Nissan Maxima. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing. Gadsden was enrolled in the McKeesport Area School District cyber program after previously attending classes on campus and was described by his principal as well liked and close with staff and classmates. His death was the third murder of a McKeesport High School student that year and prompted grief counseling and local anti-violence efforts.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the silver Nissan Maxima, please contact Pittsburgh homicide detectives.
