In the early hours of May 3, 2024, 35-year-old Anthony Young of Pittsburgh was found fatally shot in the head in the Bedford Dwellings section of the Hill District. Police responded to multiple ShotSpotter alerts just after midnight and discovered Young lying in the street at the intersection of Bedford Avenue and Watt Lane; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

The investigation led to 27-year-old Jewel Woods of Pittsburgh. On May 15, 2024, detectives with the Violent Crime Unit and Fugitive Apprehension Unit arrested Woods on a warrant while he was at the Munhall Magistrate’s office for an unrelated matter. Woods was taken to the Allegheny County Jail and charged with criminal homicide and illegal possession of a firearm in connection with Young’s death; court records also show Woods faced separate April charges including illegal firearm possession and receiving stolen property.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about Young’s movements that night, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
