Heaven Budd, 21, was fatally shot at a bus stop in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh on a Sunday afternoon in October 2023. The shooting occurred at North Homewood Avenue and Finance Street, near a recently unveiled mural meant to promote peace. An eyewitness saw Budd sitting on the bench just before the attack; the gunfire happened so quickly the witness did not at first hear it.

Emergency responders arrived just before 3 p.m. and found Budd with gunshot wounds to her upper body. She was taken to a local hospital in grave condition and later pronounced dead. Detectives from the Pittsburgh Police Violent Crime Unit said they were searching for two male suspects who fled the scene in a vehicle; both were reported wearing masks and black clothing. As of late October 2023, no arrests had been announced and family and friends continued to seek answers.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the men seen fleeing, can you share what you know with investigators?
