Floyd Wilson, 51, was fatally shot on the evening of December 6, 2024, near 2nd Street and Broadway Avenue in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. First responders found Wilson, who was in his wheelchair at the time, with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Allegheny County Police identified a suspect after surveillance footage captured a distinctive light-colored Mercury Mariner passing the intersection three times before the shooting. The vehicle was seized and linked to 44-year-old Thomas Laron Smith of Stowe. A pistol reported stolen was found in the SUV’s glove box, and ballistic testing matched that weapon to the shooting. Witnesses said occupants of the SUV argued with Wilson before four or five shots were heard; Smith later admitted, after being shown a still from security video, that he fired from the driver’s seat as Wilson began to stand from his wheelchair.

Smith was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, receiving stolen property, and firearms violations; he was being held without bail. Does anyone have information about Wilson’s movements that night or knew him in McKees Rocks?
