A suspect in a weekend bar shooting remains at large after allegedly killing one person on early Saturday morning, Harrisburg police announced tonight.
Charles Williams, 39, is being charged with homicide following a shooting at Double D’s Bar on S. 19th Street on Saturday, according to Capt. Gabe Olivera, chief information officer for the Harrisburg Police Bureau. Williams remained at large as of Monday evening.
Harrisburg police previously named two persons of interest in the case. Olivera reported tonight that police have questioned both people and decided not to bring charges against them.
Olivera said that security camera footage from Double D’s bar was instrumental in identifying a suspect and will be used in prosecution.
According to Olivera, Harrisburg Police received reports of shots fired at Double D’s bar at 1:51 a.m. on Saturday morning. Upon arrival, they found Jawan Washington, 20, shot outside the bar. He was pronounced dead at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
Olivera asked anyone with information regarding Williams’ whereabouts to report them to the Harrisburg Police Bureau through its crime portal.
