“Intelligence sharing and strong partnerships, alongside the hard work of our investigators, is fundamental to IHIT’s success,” IHIT Sgt. Timothy Pierotti said in a media release.

“This remains an open homicide investigation and we still ask that anyone with information, who has yet to speak to the police, comes forward.”

Investigators are still looking to speak with witnesses who were in the 3400-block of North Road or near Greenwood Street and Bainbridge Avenue between 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 16.
