A man hospitalized in critical condition after being shot Monday night in Market Square has died, a Pittsburgh police spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim Tuesday afternoon as Terryll Little, 19, of Duquesne.

Police said they were dispatched around 11 p.m. following a report of gunshots being fired in Downtown Pittsburgh’s most iconic public square.

Responding officers found a man, later identified as Little, who had been shot twice in the chest, spokeswoman Emily Bourne said. Officers provided first aid until paramedics arrived.

Little was rushed to an area hospital in critical condition, Bourne said. He was taken directly into surgery.

He died at the hospital at 2:11 a.m. Tuesday, the medical examiner said.

Bourne declined further comment.

Witnesses told police that the male victim was “involved in an altercation” with another man he appeared to know, Bourne said.

No arrests have been made.

Shell casings were found at the scene. Detectives from the bureau’s Violent Crime Unit are investigating and reviewing video footage from the scene.

The shooting came just days after Market Square introduced a temporary chaperone policy to reinvigorate the city’s efforts to improve public safety in Downtown Pittsburgh.

The policy, which started April 30, requires children younger than 18 to be accompanied by an adult when visiting Market Square. The policy is in effect from 3 p.m. to midnight, Thursdays through Sundays.

Pittsburgh police said they have added officers to patrol the six intersections surrounding the square, which city forefathers mapped out in 1764.

Monday’s shooting is now Downtown Pittsburgh’s first homicide in 2026.

Crime is up this year throughout the city’s central business district, online police data shows. Reported crime has jumped more than 40% — from 1,067 incidents from Jan. 1 through April 30, 2025, to 1,530 incidents at the same time this year.

Aggravated assaults more than doubled from 2025 to 2026 during that four-month window, data shows. Sex offenses are up but reported robberies are down.
