An early morning discovery on a winter day in Pittsburgh's Knoxville neighborhood revealed a grim scene. On December 27, 2014, a 911 call just before 6:30 a.m. reported a vehicle that had struck a pole on Dove Way. When first responders arrived, they found a woman inside the car who had been fatally shot in the head. The victim was identified as Kimberly Waller, a 43-year-old African American female from Pittsburgh.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office later ruled Waller's
death a homicide. Homicide detectives from the Pittsburgh Police began an investigation into the shooting. In the immediate aftermath, authorities appealed to the public for any information regarding the incident.
Despite the initial investigation and public calls for assistance, information regarding any suspects or arrests in the death of Kimberly Waller has not been publicly released in the years following the incident. The case has left a family and community seeking answers, as the circumstances surrounding her violent death remain unresolved. Her loved ones remembered her in an obituary, noting her unexpected passing and celebrating the life she had lived.
