Maurice Penny, a 24-year-old aspiring musician, was shot and killed on March 6, 2013, in the Garfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The shooting happened just before 5 p.m. in the hallway of an apartment building on Stratford Avenue after an apparent confrontation with another person. Penny was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and a firearm was recovered at the scene; that weapon may have belonged to him and investigators say he fired at least one shot during the altercation.

Police reported a red or burgundy pickup truck with two occupants was seen leaving the area headed toward East Liberty immediately after the shooting, but few leads have emerged in identifying the shooter or shooters. Penny’s death was one of many homicides in Allegheny County in 2013 that disproportionately affected young Black men and had a heavy impact on the city’s Black community. If anyone has information about this case or remembers the truck seen leaving Stratford Avenue that afternoon, contact investigators.
