Darryl Crosby, 58, was found dead in his third-floor apartment at 100 Hyman Place in Pittsburgh’s Hill District on Tuesday, February 3, 2009, after a caseworker checked on him when he missed a doctor’s appointment. Crosby, a Black man who used a motorized scooter and lived independently despite cerebral palsy, had suffered multiple stab wounds. He was a familiar presence in the neighborhood, often seen out with music playing from his scooter, and neighbors described him as quiet and humble.

The building required a key card to enter and used a buzzer system for visitors. Investigators did not immediately say whether there were signs of forced entry; a caregiver reportedly stopped by earlier that day but left when unable to get into the residence. As of late 2009, no arrests had been announced and no suspects publicly identified. If anyone knew Crosby’s routines, visitors to his building on February 3, 2009, or saw anything unusual that day, please share what is known.
