On the late evening of September 16, 2024, on Meadow Street in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood, 21-year-old Gavin Yarbough was shot and killed. Yarbough, a 2021 graduate of Woodland Hills High School and a former all-conference football player, was a passenger in a car driven by a witness when a masked individual approached and demanded belongings. Gunfire followed; Yarbough was struck multiple times in the head, neck, and torso, and died shortly after being taken to UPMC Presbyterian hospital.

Investigators treated the planned meeting as a drug deal that may have been a setup. Cellphone records showed numerous text messages arranging the meeting, and surveillance footage placed a Chevrolet Malibu near the scene with three people who drove to Meadow Street and returned after the shooting. Police identified three suspects from Pittsburgh: John Melvin Kyles, 20; Marcus Johnson, 23; and Zion White, 21, and charged all three with criminal homicide, robbery, and conspiracy.

If anyone has information about the meeting on Meadow Street that night or the Chevrolet Malibu seen on surveillance, please share what you know.
