Pittsburgh Bureau Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Earl Wimbush, 21, from Bloomfield, for the death of a 23-year-old male and the shooting of a second victim. Timothy Bottoms was found with a gunshot wound to the torso by officers who responded to a call of a male shot in the 5300 block of Cornwall. Individuals in a crowd tried to give aid, but Bottoms was pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim was shot in the leg and taken to a hospital where authorities said he is in stable condition. It is still unknown what charges Wimbush will face. Anyone with information is asked to call the Pittsburgh Homicide Squad at 412-323-7161. Callers may remain anonymous.

Evan Frazier had big shoes to fill, joining the Hill House Association as president and CEO following the death of its long-time director Jim Henry. Now, after six years, the big shoes to fill are Frazier’s as he has announced his departure to take a position as Highmark’s senior vice president of community affairs in January.

“My position may change, but my commitment to the Hill House and the Hill District is unwavering,” he said. “I look forward to watching the Hill House and the communities it serves grow and flourish in the years to come.”

During his tenure, the Hill House Association turned an ancillary storage space into a revenue generating Family Dollar store, and acquired the neighboring office and retail space built by developer Irv Williams. Frazier also directed a $9 million capital campaign, more than half of which is going to restore the Kaufmann Center and Elsie Hillman Auditorium to a destination for music and culture.

Veteran broadcaster Eddie Edwards Sr. has withdrawn his Federal Communications Commission application to purchase 660 AM WPYT Radio due to an unforeseen health issue.

Edwards’ son and attorney Eddie Edwards Jr. said he wanted to keep his father’s medical condition as private as possible, saying only that his father was hospitalized last week in Cleveland, but is now in Pittsburgh under the care of his own doctor.

Edwards announced the purchase Oct. 5 saying he came out of retirement because there is an urgent need for a Black news/talk radio outlet in Pittsburgh following the sale of WAMO. Edwards also announced plans for building a $1 million studio and adding an FM component to the station. None of that will be happening now. However, he may reapply in the future if his health allows.
