Marva Howard, 39, was shot and killed on September 4, 2007, in the Crawford Village area of McKeesport, Pennsylvania. A mother of two who had faced substance abuse and prior arrests for petty crimes and prostitution, she was reportedly leaving a bar the night she was fatally shot. No suspects were ever apprehended and the case remains unsolved.

Her death was one of many homicides in the Pittsburgh area during that period that highlighted wider social and economic challenges contributing to violent crime. Howard’s family and community continue to grieve and seek answers.
