On the afternoon of December 10, 2022, Jani Bostic, 21, was shot while sitting in the driver’s seat of her car on Butztown Road in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg and died of a gunshot wound to the head four days later; the Lehigh County coroner ruled her death a homicide.

Witnesses said a man in a dark hooded sweatshirt exited the rear passenger side of Bostic’s vehicle and ran into a nearby house. Police detained everyone inside that residence and found a semiautomatic pistol hidden in a toilet tank. That man was identified as 21-year-old Marquis M. Watkins; a gunshot residue test on him was positive.

Investigators say Watkins had arranged to buy marijuana from Bostic and another man in the car, then robbed them and opened fire, striking Bostic. The other man in the vehicle reportedly returned fire as Watkins fled. Does anyone have information about the transaction on Butztown Road or saw activity near that house that afternoon?
