A quiet street in Pittsburgh’s Knoxville neighborhood became the scene of a tragedy on a late Saturday afternoon in November. Inside the doorway of a residence on Rochelle Street, 22-year-old Keith J. Wood was found bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds. The discovery was made at approximately 5:13 p.m. on November 27, 2010. Despite efforts to save him, the young man was pronounced dead at the scene less than fifteen minutes later.
In the immediate aftermath, the motive for the shooting was a mystery to investigators. Police found no one else at the residence when they arrived and were left with few initial clues to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy as authorities began the difficult task of investigating the homicide.
The case of Keith J. Wood's death is a story that, according to available online sources, remains without a final chapter. Early news reports detailed the initial shock and the basic facts of the crime but did not name any suspects. Subsequent searches for information regarding any arrests or a break in the case have yielded no new developments. The investigation into who shot and killed Keith Wood appears to be an open and unsolved case for the Pittsburgh Police.
