came here to ask the same. seems like they're covering the entrances to frick park, too?

I was just down in the park. a bunch of cops drove through and then reversed back out again

Eta: heard two of them talking and it seems like they're looking for someone.

Just saw like 3 cops on the way into the city through squirrel hill, along with EMS

They’re all over Frick park. I was walking my dogs and they asked me if I’d seen a Black man with dreads running.

A friend witnessed someone trying to evade cops on the parkway near Monroeville so I assume it’s connected?

I came down Swissvale Ave to get onto S. Braddock, traffic was backed up so we rerouted to Greendale. Cops on foot looking near the old Foodland. Looks like whomever they are looking for ditched a silver sedan and took off to what I assume would be Nine Mile Run area of Frick.

Avoid the inbound exit of Edgewood/Swissvale! It’s completely blocked and looks as if said silver sedan may have hit a few cars who were waiting at that light.

It sounds like they're looking for someone specific here, but man it's gotta suck to be profiled just for running in a public park... It's 50 degrees out in January, everyone who enjoys walking/running/biking was out taking advantage of the weather today.

Correction the silver sedan was hit by a beat up gold mini van, mini van was the vehicle the driver took off from

That's not profiling.

I saw the guy as I was leaving the park; he was running parallel to the parkway toward the tunnel opposite the trail. Three cops came running by a minute later, guns drawn, and I heard on their radio that he was armed apparently. Kinda scary, I didn't know what was up but the guy did stop and we stared at each other for a minute.

If you care to educate me on what it is, by all means do so. Investigating every black runner in a large public park seems like casting a very wide net.

In this case it was a homicide suspect who was trying to escape through the park. I was asked the same thing, and I did happen to see the guy (he was running off the trail along the parkway wall) and the guy was a black man with dreads.

Edit, more specifically wearing a forest green hoodie and grey pants.

Maybe this?

I got stuck on the parkway ramp to Edgewood for 30 mins tryna figure out

Seems like YOU are the one who added “every” to the search.

So they found the guy in the park it sounds like?

Didnt the driver ever watch the matrix? If you're being chased, stay the fuck off the highway. And don't go fast, it'll give you away, go slow and turn a lot, and perhaps park somewhere and lay low.

It's a general description, because they don't have all the info, and most bystanders won't observe all that much, but dreads stick out, and if he was running from the cops he's probably a) running, and b) not dressed for it. Good thing John fetterman wasn't there, he'd probably whip out shotgun and stumble through a simple sentence after limping over to the perp.

Near the old food land. Good God, you grew up here.

Man this is just too clever for the Internet. You should get a job writing for a comedy show!

Foodland closed when I was maybe 4 years old but true to my yinzer roots, I will never call it anything else. That and for the life of me, I can’t remember what the hell it is now.
