Crime Stoppers would like help from the public in solving the 2012 shooting death of 20-year-old James "Andre" Lane Sims.
On July 6, 2012, city police were flagged down in the 2800 block of Versailles Avenue, where bystanders told them a person had been shot at the corner of Versailles Avenue and Pirl Street.
Police responded to the scene and found the driver of a black Dodge Charger with a gunshot wound to the head. The victim was identified as Lane-Sims. He was taken to the hospital, where he died of his injuries less than a week later.
Anyone with information concerning this case is asked to call Pittsburgh Crime Stoppers at (412) 255-TIPS. A reward of up to $1000 is offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of individuals wanted for featured crimes.
