Kareem Jakes, 30, was killed inside the Penn Jersey Mart at Fourth and Race Streets in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, on May 19, 2022. According to reports and surveillance footage, an exchange of words between Jakes and a man identified as 23-year-old Ajani Munsh-Ousha Uhuru became physical when Jakes struck Uhuru. Uhuru then drew a handgun and fired at least two shots, fatally wounding Jakes. The Northumberland County Coroner pronounced Jakes dead at the scene.

Uhuru fled in a blue BMW and was described as armed and dangerous; a multiagency manhunt followed. He was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Philadelphia on May 23, 2022, and his father, Ajani Munsho Uche Uhuru, was later charged with hindering apprehension for allegedly helping his son after the shooting. The case went to trial with self-defense argued by the defense and murder by the prosecution; jurors returned convictions on involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and acquitted on some murder counts.

Did anyone in Sunbury see what happened at the Penn Jersey Mart that day or know more about Jakes’ movements leading up to the shooting?
