Funeral arrangements have been made public for a Liberty Borough man shot to death on Sunday afternoon in White Oak.
Kenneth Hayman, 33, will be buried Nov. 1, said the DeCarbo Funeral Home in New Castle, Lawrence County, which is caring for the arrangements.
Hayman died Sunday in AHN Forbes Hospital, Monroeville, about one hour after police said three or four armed men shot attacked him at the intersection of Lincoln Way and Route 48 in White Oak.
Witnesses said Hayman was on his motorcycle at the intersection when a Chevrolet Silverado truck approached and the occupants opened fire with rifles. The vehicle then fled on Lincoln Way.
Allegheny County police announced Monday that the truck had been recovered but have released few other details of the ongoing investigation.
KDKA-TV reported the truck was recovered in Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, about 45 minutes from White Oak.
The shooting, in the middle of a Sunday afternoon near two busy shopping centers, shocked residents, who described hearing multiple gun shots in rapid succession.
Route 48 was closed for several hours Sunday as police from multiple agencies joined Allegheny County homicide detectives interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call the Allegheny County Police Tip Line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
According to the funeral home, Hayman grew up in the Elizabeth Twp. area and is survived by his partner, Brittany Koval; their 10-month-old daughter, Hazley Lynn; three brothers and a sister; aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family.
The funeral home said Hayman was a 2011 graduate of Elizabeth Forward High School and, since 2017, a member of Iron Workers Local Union No. 3, “where he was respected for his strong work ethic, camaraderie and dedication.”
Hayman was also a member of the Pittsburgh chapter of the War Dog Motorcycle Club, where the funeral home said he “known by many as Swayze 1%er ... a loyal brother and a great friend to everyone he met.”
Friends will be received from 4 to 8 p.m. Oct. 31 and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 1 at a private residence at 362 Rocco Drive, Mahoning Twp., Lawrence County, with a funeral service to follow, the funeral home said.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to support Hayman’s daughter may be sent to P. O. Box 269, Irwin, PA, 15642.
