Donte Hawkins was 20 and a Clarion University student when he was found fatally shot in the back in the street outside the Trappers Club in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood around 3 a.m. on a Sunday in May 2012. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man was found inside the club with a gunshot wound to the abdomen and taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Police did not make any arrests in the immediate aftermath. District Attorney Stephen Zappala said investigators did not believe the shooting was random and that the motive appeared connected to a crime Hawkins was thought to have been involved in in Braddock. Hawkins’s family pushed for the Trappers Club to be closed and later took part in community efforts to promote peace; the club had a history of violence under a previous name. No suspects have been publicly identified or charged in Hawkins’s killing.

Does anyone who lived in Larimer or Braddock at the time remember details that might help explain what led to this shooting?
