David Hurley

Case

Details: In the early morning of June 13, 1992, 34-year-old David Hurley left his home at 1:30am and was driving along Route 22 in Monroeville to pick up donuts before a weekend outing with his brother's Boy Scout troop. After leaving the donut shop, he was involved in a minor traffic accident, being sideswiped by another vehicle that came out of nowhere. When David got out of his van to exchange insurance information, the other driver punched David, then shot him once in the shoulder, once in the lower chest, and as David turned to leave, once in the back.
David then drove the two miles back home and when he called for his wife Pam, she didn't understand why David was home, until he told her that he was shot, and she came down and called 911. Paramedics soon arrived and at 3:30am he told police what happened to him. He was then transported to the hospital via Life Flight to Presbytarian University Hostpital. David appeared to be doing well until he started having trouble breathing. At the hospital, he was taken into surgery and died at 6:30am after going into acute cardiac arrest. All police have now is a description of the suspect from David himself shortly before he died.

David's killer's vehicle

Suspects: David's killer is described as a young black male driving a gold or champagne colored Honda Prelude, model year 1989 or 1990, and is believed to be local. He has never been identified.
Extra Notes: This segment originally aired on the April 7, 1993 episode of Unsolved Mysteries .
Results: Unresolved. In 1995, police got a break when a crime lab determined a gun involved in another case matched the gun used in David's murder. Because the gun had changed hands since the murder, that investigation led nowhere. Authorities stated that they have a suspect in the case that they believe is responsible, but that they do not have enough evidence to charge him. They need a unidentified woman who may have information in the case to come forward.
