a wild way to find out your father was murdered ?!

Well, that is just terrible. Sucks you had to find out that way.

its isn't ok ... but I'm here now ... I would just like to see him not be a " cold case " ... I don't even know how he was over looked ..

What I do know :

the fight happened close to / or in a bar ..

which could have lead to sometype of footage being taken .... but that was 15 years ago ....

( what I have found out )

he was beat in the head with a blunt object.

I will be meeting with my family . So I will be back with updates.

THANK YOU . really

The people who run this site are very responsive. Once you get all the details together, click on the provide info link on his page and let them know they should update his case information with what you provide. Also, if you have an image of your father send that. Those things always help in cold cases. Good luck to you and your family.

Troy Cross, a 44-year-old African-American man, was murdered in Pittsburgh on December 7, 2011, during a year marked by unusually high violence in the city. A large share of homicides that year involved gun violence and concentrated activity in certain neighborhoods; investigators describe the overall environment as making many inquiries from that period difficult.

The investigation into Cross’s death has not produced arrests or publicly identified suspects. His case remains one of several from 2011 that investigators and community leaders list among unsolved homicides, with appeals continuing for anyone who might have information to come forward.

Did anyone in Pittsburgh at the time have information about Troy Cross or the circumstances around December 7, 2011?
