Derrick D. Eggleton, 30, was killed in the early hours of January 31, 2024 after an argument near the Laundry Mat Bar in Pittsburgh’s Hill District reportedly over a parking spot. Just after 12:15 a.m., about 15 gunshots rang out near Webster Avenue and Lawson Street; ShotSpotter alerts and responding officers found Eggleton with a gunshot wound to his abdomen and another man with a gunshot wound to his arm. Both were taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital, where Eggleton was pronounced dead and the other victim was listed in stable condition. Bullets also struck a nearby residence, but no one inside was hurt.

Authorities later identified a suspect and, on March 1, 2024, Pittsburgh detectives working with the U.S. Marshals Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force arrested 46-year-old Deshawn Wallace after a brief foot chase on the East Busway. Wallace was charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, carrying a firearm without a license, recklessly endangering another person and additional narcotics offenses. Eggleton’s family held a candlelight vigil and balloon release in his memory.

Did anyone in the Hill District see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
