On the evening of Sunday, January 16, 2022, 32-year-old Xavier Claude King was fatally shot inside Bill’s Café on the 2300 block of Derry Street in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Police were called at about 8 p.m.; King was pronounced dead at the scene. Surveillance footage from the bar reportedly shows a man tap King on the shoulder, confirm his identity, then pull out a handgun and shoot him in the back multiple times.

Investigators identified 34-year-old Shawn Cornell Davenport Jr. of Harrisburg from the surveillance video. Davenport’s parole officer reportedly confirmed the identification, and police arrested him on Ivy Lane on the evening of Tuesday, January 18. He was charged with first-degree murder, firearms violations, and recklessly endangering another person, and was held in Dauphin County Prison without bail. The investigation remained open and authorities were seeking additional information from the public.

If anyone was at Bill’s Café that night or has information about what happened, please share what is known with investigators.
