Mother pleads for information months after son's death

PITTSBURGH — It's been three months since Raghib Dolphin was killed in Brighton Heights.

No one has come forward with information and police have not made any arrests.

Tuesday afternoon, Dolphin's mother spoke only to Channel 11's Marlisa Goldsmith, saying what hurts most is her son would have done anything to help another person, but so far, no one has stepped forward to help him.

"It's like I never had him, because I'm not hearing anything," Cynthia Simpson said. "Nobody knows nothing."

Raghib Dolphin, 24, was shot and killed in February along Brighton Road. It happened outside Zangaros Bar. Community meetings were held to decide how to move forward. Now, nearly three months later, no arrests have been made.

"He had a smile that could light up a dark room," Simpson said as she looked at pictures of Dolphin, and video of him singing at church. They're all the memories this mom has left.

She hopes and prays someone will hear her plea and come forward with information that can bring her family closure.

"It's not going to bring Raghib back, but it will make it possible for us to move on.," Simpson said. "Knowing that justice has been served. There needs to be justice. He didn't deserve that."

Channel 11 checked in with Pittsburgh police, who said they are still investigating and that they need the public's help to solve this case.
