Dave Lettrich, executive director of the street outreach group Bridge to the Mountains, comforts Caydee, a woman experiencing homelessness, on Dec. 21 during a Downtown candlelight vigil, organized by Pittsburgh Mercy’s Operation Safety Net, to remember 23 people known to have died while unhoused in Pittsburgh in the past year. The previous year, there were 13. Homelessness is now "at a different level of crisis, and we’re going to have to figure out who we are – maybe before we really figure out what to do,” said Dr. Jim Withers, founder of the Street Medicine Institute.

Lightning lights up a cloud beyond the 3400 block of Shadeland Avenue on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022, in Brighton Heights. A house is partially covered by a tree lit by a streetlight, which casts a green tint on the street below, stretching over a bridge in the distance. A ShotSpotter acoustic sensor alerted Pittsburgh police to sounds, interpreted as gunshots, around 3400 Shadeland Avenue in Brighton Heights on Dec. 15, 2018. That data was used in the prosecution of Angelo Weeden, who is now appealing his conviction to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in a case that may have implications for the use of gunshot detection technology statewide and beyond.
