Officers were called to the area just before 4 a.m. Wednesday. Police from both Munhall and Homestead responded. Caterino says that the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The medical examiner identified him as 33-year-old Dontae Hatcher.
Investigators are working to collect as much evidence as they can. Detectives have been seen inside the complex, shining flashlights throughout the second floor of the building.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner arrived at the scene a time later and county police will be taking over the investigation.
Ryan Johnson, a man who lives nearby the scene, spoke to KDKA's Lauren Linder about gun violence.
"I am sick of like, the fact that we can't just seem to talk out our issues before you know pulling out our fists, before we pull out a gun," Johnson said. "We seem to want to resort to that as the first way of solving a conflict or being right in a conflict."
There's no word on any suspects at this time.
