Lonnie Block Latham III, 23, was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest on the night of August 31, 2023, in downtown Pittsburgh. The shooting occurred about 10:30 p.m. near Smithfield Street and Strawberry Way after witnesses reported two men arguing. Two other people—a man and a woman—were wounded and reported in stable condition; the male victim had a gunshot wound to his foot.

An officer from nearby Mellon Square Park heard the shots, found Latham and the female victim, and administered CPR until paramedics transported Latham to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Surveillance footage reportedly shows a skirmish and fight before shots were fired, Latham falling after being shot, and another man picking up what was believed to be Latham’s gun and firing additional shots. Police questioned two men soon after the incident but no charges were immediately filed and the investigation was ongoing. Latham had been arrested in April 2023 on charges of selling crack and was out on bail at the time of his death.
