Anthony Tyron Robertson, a 37-year-old African American man from McKeesport, PA, tragically died on August 10, 2014. He was fatally shot at the Harrison Village Housing Complex in McKeesport. According to reports, Robertson was sitting on a nearby wall when at least 10 shots were fired, and he was later transported to UPMC McKeesport Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The incident was believed to be an act of retaliation, as tenants at Harrison Village informed the Allegheny
County police that two masked men carried out the shooting. This was reportedly in response to a shooting that injured Isaiah Dawson the day before in Duquesne. Despite the ongoing investigation, no arrests have been made, and the police have not confirmed whether the two cases are connected.
The loss of Anthony Tyron Robertson has deeply affected his family and the community. He is survived by his parents, Pamela J. Robertson-Gant and Lutual Love, his sons Elijah Tyron Robertson-Walker and Isaiah Tyron Robertson-Walker, and several siblings and other relatives. Robertson was known as a musician and entertainer, and his passing has left a significant void in the lives of those who knew him.
The investigation into Robertson's death remains open, with the Allegheny County Police continuing to seek information and potential suspects. The community has expressed concern over the violence and hopes for justice to be served. Surveillance footage from the recreation center near the scene is being reviewed in hopes of identifying the perpetrators.
Anthony Tyron Robertson's death serves as a stark reminder of the impact of violence and the importance of community safety. His memory lives on through his family, friends, and the music he created.
