Michael F. Young was 33 when he was fatally shot on the evening of September 30, 2010, while visiting a friend or relative at an apartment building in the Hill District of Pittsburgh. The shooting took place in the doorway of a Milwaukee Street building; Young was struck multiple times at close range. Responding officers found two sets of bullet casings and a firearm at the scene, prompting investigators to consider that a shootout may have preceded his death.

No motive had been determined and no arrests were reported. Young’s last known address was in East McKeesport; he was survived by nine children, his mother, and several siblings. The investigation remained open and police appealed for information that could identify a suspect.

Anyone with information about Michael Young’s killing is asked to come forward.
