PITTSBURGH (KDKA) --Pittsburgh Police are investigating a shooting in Homewood that left a 19-year-old man dead Monday night.
According to police, the shooting happened around 9:15 p.m. in the 7100-block of Mt. Vernon Street.
The medical examiner identified the victim as Anton Smith, 19, of Homewood.
He was found shot multiple times in the street.
Witnesses reported seeing a car speeding away from the scene.
As police began the investigation, limited details were coming in. Someone walking or driving by may have been behind the shooting, but even that was still undetermined.
