Victim identified in Pittsburgh neighborhood fatal shooting

A Wilkinsburg man was killed after a shooting in Pittsburgh on Saturday, police said.

Albert Boxley, 30, died of gunshot wounds to the head and chest, according to the Allegheny Medical Examiner's Officer, which ruled his death a homicide.

Police said they were called to the scene at the intersection of Mullins and Dickson streets in Marshall-Shadeland around 4:40 p.m.

When police arrived, they discovered Boxley lying in the street, according to authorities.

"It's a bad feeling. I feel for the man's family, even though I don't know who it is," said resident Glenn Williams.

Hours later Boxley's body still lay covered in a sheet while investigators searched the area.

Police are hopeful that surveillance video from a nearby house showing the suspected gunman fleeing the scene will yield some clues.

"They had seen the shooter run up the street throwing something behind this house here in this area somewhere," Williams said.

Police told Channel 11 that a few blocks away on Superior Avenue, bullets were also fired at another man but missed.

Neighbors also told Channel 11 that two men who flagged down police about the man shot were taken in for questioning.
