The medical examiner identified the victim as Ciquann Dudley. The teen was a student at McKeesport Area High School, the school district confirmed.
Allegheny County police said Dudley was pronounced dead at the scene on Tube Works Alley after a pedestrian notified a McKeesport officer about the body at about 1:45 p.m.
Police said the area where the body was found is a remote location. Investigators do not know why Dudley was in the alley, and a motive for the shooting remains unclear.
"It's hard to tell if [the victim] was moving at the time of the shooting," Inspector Andrew Schurman said. "Ultimately, we know he had wounds in his back, though."
County homicide detectives are asking for the public's help. Anyone with information is asked to call 833-ALL-TIPS (833-255-8477). Anonymous calls will be accepted.
