(Allegheny County, PA) Police are renewing a call for information to help them solve a deadly shooting that occurred in Swissvale on December 14th, 2024. The Allegheny County Police Department shared a post on Facebook yesterday saying that they are continuing to investigate the death of forty-two-year-old Matthew Bernard as officers were called to an apartment on the 7530 block of Dickson Street in Swissvale at 10:10 p.m. on December 14th, 2024. Bernard was found and he was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds before he died at the scene. Police confirmed that detectives have learned that the person who was living in the apartment was contacted about a potential home invasion. That person then asked a family member to check inside the apartment, and reportedly, that family member found Bernard dead. Another detail in the investigation since learned by detectives is that Bernard was known to visit the apartment. Officers are asking anyone with information that could help them identify the person who is responsible to call 1-833-ALL-TIPS, which is the Allegheny County Police Tip Line, and tips can also be left as anonymous.
