La’Eva Morrison was just 34 when a bullet hit her face on a Sunday night in Pittsburgh’s Strip District. She went down on the sidewalk near 27th Street and Liberty Avenue. Cops found her there unresponsive a little before 11 p.m., about seven blocks from The Terminal.
Officers started CPR right away. Pittsburgh EMS rolled up and rushed her to the hospital. The doctors and nurses did what they could. She still died from the gunshot wound.
She left two daughters. Her family and friends are left picking up the pieces and holding onto the times they had with her. People who knew her say the loss hits hard.
Police grabbed three people and took them in for questioning. No one has been charged yet. The case is still open while detectives dig into what went down that night.
The Strip District stays busy most nights with people out and about. A shooting like this cuts through all that. La’Eva Morrison’s name is now tied to that corner.
Friends and relatives keep talking about the woman she was. The two girls she raised will grow up without her. That part stays with everyone who hears the story.
Detectives are still working the scene and the statements. Until they wrap it up, the three people in custody sit and wait. La’Eva Morrison’s family waits too, for answers that might never feel like enough.
