Ta’Ron Reid, 45, a male from the Pittsburgh area, was found shot multiple times inside a residence on the 500 block of Ridge Avenue in East Pittsburgh on the night of September 16, 2025. Police and medics were called just after 10:30 p.m., and Ta’Ron Reid was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity and age were confirmed by authorities and subsequent local reporting.
Investigators quickly focused on a single suspect: the victim’s 19-year-old son, Tayron Perry Reid of Pittsburgh. Allegheny County police obtained a criminal homicide warrant and announced on September 18 that Tayron was wanted in connection with the killing. Public appeals described him as “potentially armed and dangerous” as detectives sought his whereabouts while processing the scene and gathering witness statements.
Nearly two weeks after the shooting, the search ended when Tayron Reid turned himself in. Authorities said he surrendered on Monday, September 29, and was booked into the Allegheny County Jail. News outlets reported that the arrest followed a week of public notices and updates from county police about the case.
Court records and local reports indicate that Tayron Reid has been charged with criminal homicide in the death of Ta’Ron Reid, 45, and that he was denied bail while awaiting further proceedings. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for October 10 in Pittsburgh Municipal Court, with no defense attorney listed in online dockets at the time of publication.
Obituaries and memorial pages for Ta’Ron Reid, 45, later appeared online, noting his date of death as September 16, 2025, and listing arrangements through a local funeral home. These notices underscored the timeline established by police and media reports and confirmed details of his identity and age.
