Dwayne Threet, 36, was shot and killed around 5:30 p.m. on September 27, 2011, near the intersection of Chauncey Drive and Wylie Avenue in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the back and was taken to UPMC Mercy, where he died a short time later. His death came amid a violent stretch in the neighborhood; another fatal shooting had occurred the day before near Chauncey Drive and Bedford Avenue.

Police reported no arrests at the time and detectives continued investigating both homicides. The case was one of many in a 2011 surge of violence in Pittsburgh that disproportionately affected young Black men. Threet’s killing remains unsolved and highlights ongoing concerns about gun violence and safety in the Hill District.

If anyone knew Dwayne Threet or has information about what happened that evening, please come forward.
