On February 10, 2022 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, 36-year-old Vincent Bynum was shot and killed after a dispute with neighbors. The sequence reported began when Bynum allegedly assaulted the man who lived next door; that injured neighbor returned home and told his family. A brother-in-law of the injured neighbor went to confront Bynum, and that encounter turned physical when Bynum reportedly punched him and then pursued him as the man retreated.

The retreating man, legally in possession of a firearm, drew and fired two shots; one struck Bynum. Bynum was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide; an autopsy detected alcohol and a high level of phencyclidine in Bynum’s system. The Lehigh County District Attorney announced the shooting was deemed justified self-defense and no criminal charges were filed.

Are there witnesses or anyone with additional details about what happened that morning who can help clarify the sequence of events?
