Rimel Lamour Williamson was a 17-year-old Black male from Braddock, Pennsylvania, killed in a late-night shooting on Sunday, August 27, 2023. The shooting near Margaretta Street and Center Street also claimed the life of 17-year-old Nazir Parker; both were identified by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office and were students tied to Woodland Hills High School, just days into what should have been their senior year.

An Allegheny County Housing Authority officer heard multiple gunshots and found Rimel and Nazir dead in the street; a third teenager was discovered inside a nearby home with multiple gunshot wounds and taken to hospital in critical but stable condition. Investigators say surveillance footage and cellphone records linked 16-year-old Jerell Rockymore to the scene; authorities alleged he was involved in the violence and later charged him in connection with the deaths. Reports listed charges including criminal homicide, criminal conspiracy, receiving stolen property, and illegal possession of a firearm, though some accounts omitted conspiracy.

A second teenager, 15-year-old Mohamed Hussein, was reportedly connected to the events through body camera footage and other material but faced no charges; he was killed in a separate shooting on September 19, 2023. Did anyone in the Braddock or Woodland Hills area have information about Rimel’s last hours or the events that led to that night?
