Crime Stoppers: Police Seek Public's Assistance In Solving Murder Of Oakland Man
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- It's been seven months since an Oakland man was gunned down in his residence in what police called a home invasion-homicide case.
No one has been arrested.
The victim was 42-year-old Aaron Govostes, who lived at the end of Gorman Way in South Oakland. He was shot multiple times and found dead in the doorway of his home last April.
Pittsburgh Homicide Det. James Magee said, "Three African-American men forced their way into his home where Govostes lived with his two children and his mother, then went up to the second floor of the residence, scuffled with Govostes, and then shot him."
The victim's mother took the two small children into the attic for their own safety after the intruders took a shoot at her, narrowly missing.
"She heard the fight, then the gunshot," said Det. Magee. "She went downstairs and found her son dead on the floor."
