A Monroeville man died after being shot Monday night in Wilkinsburg.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office identified the victim as Tramaine Solomen, 30. He died at an unnamed hospital around 10:35 p.m.

Around 8:20 p.m., Allegheny County 911 dispatchers received several calls about shots fired in the 1500 block of Marlboro Avenue, Allegheny County Police Lt. Ken Ruckel said.

Police arrived to find a man with multiple gunshot wounds lying on the street, Ruckel said.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday said Solomen died from multiple gunshot wounds to his head and ruled his death a homicide.

Police did not know the motive for the shooting. County homicide detectives are investigating.

Officials asked anyone with information about the incident to call the county police tipline at 1-833-255-8477. Callers can remain anonymous.
