On the evening of March 3, 2024, in the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh, 20-year-old Marquese Lamar Freeman was fatally shot inside Adan’s Market on East Warrington Avenue. Surveillance footage shows a man later identified as 20-year-old Quincey Gurske entering the store with two companions, then opening fire when Freeman arrived. Freeman fired back at one of Gurske’s associates but collapsed inside the store from multiple gunshot wounds to his head and chest.

A man who was with Freeman was struck in the arm and later found by first responders near Arlington Avenue and William Street. A 17-year-old believed to have been with Gurske was found on Dilworth Street with gunshot wounds to the hip and nose. Police located Gurske at the Dilworth Street scene wearing clothes matching surveillance; officers recovered matching clothing, some with bloodstains, and a loaded Glock at a nearby residence.

On March 18, 2024, Gurske was arrested as he arrived at Pittsburgh Municipal Court on an unrelated matter and charged with criminal homicide, criminal attempted homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, and firearms violations. Community members have called for Adan’s Market to be closed, citing a history of violence. Does anyone have information about Freeman’s movements that evening or witnessed the shooting near Adan’s Market?
