Leonard Quattlebaum, 31, was shot and killed on April 3, 2022, outside USA Fried Chicken at 13th and Derry streets in Harrisburg. The shooting followed a dispute between Quattlebaum and 34-year-old Jeremy Bailey that began the day before; Bailey’s gun reportedly jammed during an earlier attempt to settle the matter, then Bailey tracked Quattlebaum to the restaurant the next morning. A bullet struck bystander Nelbenson Sanchez in the head, killing him instantly. Bailey then continued the pursuit and shot Quattlebaum in the back, the wound piercing his heart.

At trial Bailey was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a firearm by a former felon, carrying a firearm without a license, and recklessly endangering another person. The investigation was led by Detective Brian Carriere of the Harrisburg Bureau of Police and prosecuted by First Assistant District Attorney Mike Sprow and Deputy District Attorney Alexandra McNulty. Does anyone have information about Quattlebaum’s activities or contacts in Harrisburg in the days before April 3, 2022?
