PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh police are searching for their prime suspect in a murder investigation in the Hill District.

According to authorities, five people were sitting inside a parked car on Lombard Street early Sunday morning when two men approached the vehicle. Police say one of the suspects opened fire, killing a 24-year-old man.

The victim has been identified as Ronald Washington.

The shooting also injured a 20-year-old woman. She is recovering at UPMC Mercy Hospital from gunshot wounds to her thighs and wrist.

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the suspect is described as an African-American man, about 5’10”, 180-pounds, with a thin build and a goatee.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Pittsburgh Homicide Squad at (412)-323-7161.

Another gun related shooting. Guess some people are still happy that the three suspended officers are still off the job instead of getting these guns off the streets.

Wow, I can’t believe how racist this city is.

I am a white female, and I have seen plenty of hoodlum white people, welfare ridden white people, and violent white people too. Stop stereotyping.

Really any black-focused or white-focused organizations and such need disbanded. Unfortunately so many people are hateful and racist so the black community feels need for these special things, which I don’t blame them. It’s 2011 and we are still disugsting, vile, hateful, creatures that can’t accept the fact that different people are from different places and “White People” weren’t even on this continent first but yet we try to reign supreme. Messed up.
