Jason Raul Rivera was 13 when he was shot multiple times in the parking lot of his uncle’s apartment building in South Lebanon Township on February 15, 2022. He was taken to Hershey Medical Center but died that same night. A Lebanon Middle School student, he enjoyed basketball, football and PlayStation and was remembered for a fun-loving nature and a great sense of humor.

Investigators recovered twelve 9mm shell casings at the scene and concluded at least twelve shots were fired. The gun used was later tied to two crimes in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Jason’s uncle, Jose Colon, was connected to drug dealing from the apartment and narcotics were found there and in Jason’s room; Colon was charged and convicted on drug-dealing evidence. No suspect in the shooting has been identified and the Lebanon County District Attorney and South Lebanon Police continue investigating.

Did anyone in the community see activity around that apartment complex the night of February 15, 2022, or have information about who fired those shots?
