Anthony Sams was 20 and lived in Beltzhoover, Pittsburgh. On April 26, 2009 he was sitting on the steps on Industry Street in the Beltzhoover neighborhood when someone approached him. As he attempted to run away he was shot in the back of the head and died at the scene. No one has been charged in his homicide.

Sams’ killing happened during a violent month for Pittsburgh; several other shootings occurred around the same time, including the April 26 death of another 20-year-old, Joseph Davis Jr., in Penn Hills. The homicide remains unsolved and Sams’ family and community continue to lack closure.

Did anyone in the Beltzhoover area at that time see or hear anything that could help explain what happened to Anthony Sams?
