On June 27, 2007, 26-year-old Floyd Johnson Jr. was fatally shot in broad daylight in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood after finishing a shift at Stagno’s Bakery. Around 4 p.m. a man wearing construction-style clothing — a hard hat and reflective vest — approached Johnson, opened fire, and struck him multiple times. Johnson tried to flee but collapsed in the street; the shooter then stood over him and fired additional rounds into his chest. Johnson was taken to UPMC Presbyterian and died of seven gunshot wounds.

Police recovered eight shell casings at the scene and interviewed witnesses; detectives identified several potential suspects but made no immediate arrest. Investigators noted there was no construction work nearby and were unsure whether the outfit was a disguise. The shooter, described as a muscular Black man, walked away down an alley and was not caught. The motive and the gunman’s identity remain unsolved.

Did anyone in the Larimer area at the time notice someone in construction gear behaving oddly that afternoon?
