Shortly after 1:30 a.m. on a September Thursday in Pittsburgh’s North Side, 18-year-old Timothy Harris was shot multiple times in the 1600 block of Sandusky Court at the Allegheny Dwellings housing complex and was pronounced dead at the scene. A 21-year-old man was also wounded, fleeing to a nearby apartment; he was treated at a hospital for a gunshot to the buttocks and listed in stable condition.

Police searched the courtyard for hours; initially no motive was clear and there were no immediate arrests. The shooting came less than a month after another shooting in the same area. The following night investigators identified 17-year-old Justin Kurington of Perrysville as a key suspect. While officers were preparing to serve a warrant at a Grape Street home, a single shot was heard inside; officers later found Kurington upstairs with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and he died at a hospital. At the time he was found, police had not yet obtained a formal arrest warrant in Harris’s killing.

If anyone who lived in or visited the Allegheny Dwellings in September has information about the shootings, please share what was seen or heard.
