FINEVIEW (KDKA) – Pittsburgh Police are investigating after a man was shot and killed in the city's Fineview neighborhood early Monday morning.
According to police, the incident happened in the 1700 block of Belleau Drive around 1:20 a.m.
When police arrived, they found a 28-year-old man who had been shot twice.
"Two shots were heard. Upon arrival, they discovered a deceased black male in the courtyard. We believe he is 28-years-old," Pittsburgh Public Safety Spokeswoman Sonya Toler said.
The medical examiner identified the victim as James Swanson, 28, from Rankin. Social media postings indicated Swanson was a father of two.
The shooting happened in the courtyard of a housing complex. Neighbors gathered there after the shooting, as police searched the area for evidence. Police hope someone will come forward and help with their investigation.
