16-Year-Old Shot, Killed In Hill District Park

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― A teenager was shot and killed late Saturday night in the Hill District when police say he went out to take his dog for a walk.

The shooting happened just before midnight at Robert E. Williams Memorial Park at Milwaukee Street and Adelaide Street in the Upper Hill District neighborhood.

Police have identified the victim as 16-year-old Malik Scott.

Officials say he was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the torso.

According to investigators, Scott went out to take his family dog for a walk and was in the park when shots were fired there.
