Lonnell Nelly Newkirk, 44, was fatally shot on the front porch of his Maytide Street home in Pittsburgh’s Carrick neighborhood on December 31, 2023. First responders found him around 8:45 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. Witnesses say Newkirk repeatedly identified his shooter as Ticc in his final moments, and investigators say Ticc referred to 43-year-old Timothy Debold.

Surveillance showed a 2020 Honda CRV registered to Debold’s girlfriend circling near Newkirk’s home before the shooting, parking on nearby Belplain Street, and then departing through the Liberty Tunnel and Squirrel Hill Tunnel after the incident. Debold was arrested on January 9, 2024, on unrelated outstanding warrants and later charged in connection with Newkirk’s death with criminal homicide, burglary, carrying a firearm without a license, and persons not to possess firearms; he is being held in the Allegheny County Jail. Motive and the nature of any relationship between Newkirk and Debold have not been disclosed.

If anyone in Carrick knew Lonnell or saw the CRV or activity in the area that night, please share what was seen.
