Man found shot to death inside home in Pittsburgh's Larimer neighborhood
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A man was found shot to death inside a home in Pittsburgh's Larimer neighborhood on Friday.
Police found a man with multiple gunshot wounds after they responded to Lowell Street for reports of a shooting. The victim, identified by the medical examiner's office as 48-year-old Nathaniel Walker, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two suspects ran from the scene, police said. No one has been arrested.
"I just heard gunshots. I heard loud gunshots. I was about two blocks up because me and my kids had just got back from a field trip," said Rhonda Madden, who was nearby when the shooting happened.
The shooting happened near Urban Academy of Greater Pittsburgh, where students were getting back from a field trip at the time.
"It's disgusting and I'm over this," neighbor Marlena Alexander. "The violence is unnecessary. It's always been unnecessary, and it's really sad that it had to happen here."
Detectives with the violent crime unit and mobile crime unit are investigating.
"I just wish we could all just be better and come together, be better neighbors like him," said Alexander, who said the victim was a "really nice gentleman."
According to the Pittsburgh Police Violent Crimes Dashboard, this was the 14th homicide of the year, three fewer than this same time last year.
