On May 18, 2023, 27-year-old Ryan Marquise Dunnaway was shot and killed in an apartment on Grand Avenue in Neville Township, near Pittsburgh. Police found Dunnaway at about 7:30 p.m. with five gunshot wounds and pronounced him deceased at the scene.

Court documents say 46-year-old Dwight Baker of the Upper Hill District of Pittsburgh forcibly entered the apartment, refused to leave, and confronted a witness about their relationship with Dunnaway. When Dunnaway arrived, the documents say Baker opened fire. Surveillance footage shows someone fleeing the scene shortly after the shooting. Sewickley police arrested Baker later that evening; officers noted he had blood on his pants and possessed a firearm. He was charged with criminal homicide, burglary, aggravated assault, and related offenses.

Family and friends described profound loss and the impact of Dunnaway’s death. No motive beyond the confrontation described in court documents has been provided. Does anyone have information about Dunnaway’s life in Neville Township or the events that evening?
