In the early morning hours of October 24, 2020, the life of 30-year-old Nelson NalAkeem Lincoln, a male from West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, was tragically cut short. First responders were called to Midway Drive around 2:20 a.m., where they discovered Lincoln with gunshot wounds. Despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Allegheny County Police Department's Homicide Unit promptly launched an investigation into the shooting.
Known to his friends and family by the
nickname 'Richie B,' Nelson was a 2008 graduate of Baldwin High School and had briefly attended the Community College of Allegheny County. He was a father of four children. Those who knew him remember his friendly smile and loving spirit. He had a passion for making music and playing sports, but his greatest joy was spending quality time with his family, always seeking innovative ways to ensure their well-being. His presence was often filled with laughter and brought an amazing time to those around him.
The investigation into Nelson Lincoln's death remains ongoing. As of early 2026, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Allegheny County police have continued to ask for anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward and contact their tip line. The lack of closure in the case has left his family, friends, and the wider West Mifflin community deeply affected as they continue to seek justice for his untimely death.
