Michael Sloan, 43, was shot and killed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 13, 2011, and was pronounced dead at the scene. His death occurred during a period of heightened violence in the city when homicides and non‑fatal shootings were increasing and firearm incidents were common.

Michael’s killing remains unsolved. It was one of many homicides contributing to Pittsburgh’s roughly 40 homicides per year at that time, a toll that disproportionately affected young African American males and strained the city’s ability to clear cases.

Anyone with information about Michael Sloan’s death is asked to contact investigators.
