Eighteen-year-old Jason Daniel was killed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 15, 2011. His death occurred during a period when the city and Allegheny County were experiencing a spike in violent incidents, many involving young men and firearms. During the 2000s and early 2010s, most homicides in the area happened in a small number of neighborhoods, often late at night or on weekends, and over 80 percent were firearm-related.

Jason Daniel’s case remains unsolved. Investigators faced hurdles common to many cases from that period, including limited witness cooperation, complicated scenes, and insufficient evidence to identify suspects. Family members and local community groups continue to push for attention to cold cases like his in hopes of new leads.

If anyone knew Jason Daniel or has information about the night of August 15, 2011, please come forward.
