On the night of July 5, 2010, 32-year-old Anthony Griffin was found shot on the front steps of a home on Monongahela Street in Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood neighborhood. Police arrived shortly after 10 p.m. and discovered Griffin with gunshot wounds to his head and torso; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide detectives had not determined a motive and no arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath. The investigation remained open in the months that followed, and as of late 2010 no one had been charged in the killing.

The case file also notes a separate, earlier death of another Anthony Griffin. On April 4, 2003, 22-year-old Anthony L. Griffin of Penn Hills died of a gunshot wound to the head; the Allegheny County coroner ruled it a suicide. The family publicly disputed that finding, citing inconsistencies they believed existed in the police account, questions about how the weapon was handled, and a delay before medics checked vital signs. Their concerns were raised at an open inquest and their attorney was invited to review the coroner’s records.

Does anyone remember hearing or seeing anything on Monongahela Street the evening of July 5, 2010 that could help investigators?
