Two Pittsburgh men, one 16 and one 33, were killed early Wednesday in a shooting in the city’s Middle Hill neighborhood. Pittsburgh police responded to a 16-round ShotSpotter alert in the 2300 block of Webster Avenue at about 3 a.m.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified two people killed Wednesday following a shooting in Pittsburgh’s Hill District neighborhood.

Robert Lee Freeman, Jr., 33, of Pittsburgh, was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the head at 3:09 a.m. in the 2300 block of Webster Avenue, after Pittsburgh police responded to a 16-round ShotSpotter alert there, authorities said. He died at the scene.

Multiple gunshot wounds caused Freeman’s death, the medical examiner said. His death was deemed a homicide.

Cameron Blue-Gray, 16, of Pittsburgh’s Uptown neighborhood, also was found unresponsive at the scene and suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest, authorities said. He was taken to UPMC Mercy hospital, where he died at about 4 a.m.

The medical examiner had not determined Blue-Gray’s cause or manner of death, as of Thursday morning.

The police bureau’s Violent Crime Unit detectives are investigating, police spokeswoman Cara Cruz said. No arrests have been announced.
