On the late morning of September 11, 2010, 19-year-old Dywayne Heath of the Carrick neighborhood was walking to a relative’s home in the Beltzhoover area when he was pursued by an unknown assailant. He ran to the porch of a Montooth Street residence seeking safety, but the gunman followed and fired, striking Heath multiple times. He collapsed on the porch and was dead at the scene.

Police found about a dozen shell casings where the shooting occurred. Investigators described the suspect as a Black male roughly 5 feet 7 inches with a thin build and curly black hair, wearing a black shirt and black denim pants. No arrests were reported in the immediate aftermath and the motive remained unclear.

If anyone saw the pursuit or has information about the man described, please come forward to help Dywayne’s family find answers.
