Pittsburgh, PA – A man found slumped over in his car was given Narcan by a passing good samaritan who believed he was suffering from a drug overdose, but when police arrived they quickly learned Narcan wasn’t going to work.
Just after midnight, Pittsburgh Police from Zone 2 were dispatched to the intersection of Vine Street and Fifth Avenue for an overdose call.
“A passerby called 9-1-1 believing a male sitting in the driver’s side of a vehicle was experiencing an overdose and administered aid to him using Narcan,” police said. “When police and paramedics arrived they discovered the male had actually been shot in the side of his body. EMS transported him to the hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.”
There are no suspects at this time. The name of the victim was not released.
