April 23 marks six month since Andre disappeared from his Lawrenceville home. In March, we learned that Andre had been murdered that night and his body removed & put into the Allegheny River. His body was recovered in March and his family mourned his loss in April.
Andre was part of the LGBTQ community – he openly identified as a bisexual man and was also part of the local ball community. To learn more about Andre’s life, you can read a series of blog posts.
