Female Victim, 21

PA, West Oakland, Allegheny Co.

August 9, 2010

A Female Victim from West Oakland was shot in the head in her apartment.

According to witnesses, the female victim and her boyfriend, also 21, had been arguing for a few minutes when she told him to leave. She said “bye,” and he turned around, pulled out a revolver and pointed it at her. She started to laugh and ask “you really gonna shoot” when he opened fire. He fled the apartment but soon returned to tell the dying victim “I didnʼt mean it,” before fleeing again.

He was charged with homicide and carrying a firearm without a license. The homicide charge was dropped two months later when a witness failed to show for a court hearing.

Prosecutors asked for the publicʼs help in locating the witness so the homicide charge can be refiled.
