Robert Moorefield was 19 when he was killed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on July 26, 2008. He was found with fatal gunshot wounds, a death that fits the broader pattern of firearm-related homicides in the city during that period.

Moorefield’s death came during a span when firearms accounted for over 80 percent of homicides in Pittsburgh between 2000 and 2012. Those years saw a marked concentration of victims among young African American men: 86 percent of homicide victims were African American, the majority were under 30, and the homicide rate for young African American men was reported to be more than 65 times the national average. More than half of the city’s homicides were confined to 21 of Pittsburgh’s 92 neighborhoods.

No suspects have been brought to justice in Moorefield’s killing. If anyone knew Robert, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help solve this case, please come forward.
