Kristofer Lee Metzger, a 35-year-old man, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of March 6, 2021, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Responding to calls of shots fired shortly after midnight, police discovered Metzger inside his vehicle on Zephyr Avenue in the Sheraden neighborhood. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. At the time of his death, Metzger was working as an Uber driver.
Remembered as a loving husband and father, Kristofer Metzger was also a veteran of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. His family described him as a man with a 'giant smile or goofy grin' and a devoted fan of Pittsburgh's sports teams. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, police had no suspects and appealed to the public for information. The investigation into the senseless act of violence continued for over a year, leaving his family searching for answers.
A significant development in the case came in July 2022, when Pittsburgh Police announced the arrests of two suspects. Kendall McKoy, then 20, and Da’rohn Winmon, then 23, were taken into custody and charged in connection with Metzger's death. Both men faced a string of serious charges, including criminal homicide, aggravated assault, and firearm violations. At the time of his arrest for the murder, McKoy was already incarcerated on unrelated charges. Winmon was apprehended and transported to the Allegheny County Jail. Further details regarding the motive behind the shooting or the specifics of the investigation that led to the suspects have not been made publicly available. Information on the outcome of the legal proceedings for Kendall McKoy and Da'rohn Winmon, including details of their trials, potential pleas, or convictions, is not available in the provided online sources.
