Leonard King Jr., 30, was killed in a midday shooting in downtown Reading, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred Monday, November 22, 2021, at about 1:20 p.m. in the 500 block of Penn Street after an argument between King and another male escalated to gunfire. King suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, was taken to Reading Hospital, and died from his injuries.

Police investigators described the shooter as a male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and gray sweatpants who fled the scene on foot. Authorities identified a suspect, and on Tuesday, November 23, 2021, Reading Police located and arrested 19-year-old Aeneas O’Brien inside a residence in the 1700 block of North 16th Street; he was arraigned on charges including first-degree and third-degree murder.

Court filings show testimony that a man in a black hoodie and face mask approached, argued with, and then shot Leonard Sylvester King, Jr. Does anyone have information about King’s movements that day or saw what happened on Penn Street?
