A woman who knew Alston for 20 years told Channel 11 News he was always the first person to lend a helping hand.
“He would do anything for anyone. He would give the shirt off his back to you and help you with anything he needed help with,” the woman, who did not want to be identified, said. “What can I say? Yes, one of those guys you want to meet and keep as a friend forever.”
Police have not determined a motive or identified any suspects.
Anyone who heard or saw anything is asked to call the Allegheny County Police Homicide Unit at 412-473-1300.
