Tyler Sitar, 22, of Dunmore, Pennsylvania, was shot at a William Street residence on the evening of Friday, July 16, 2021. He was taken to Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton but died of a gunshot wound to the stomach; the Lackawanna County coroner later ruled the death a homicide.

A 23-year-old man, Luigi LoRusso of Berks County, was at the scene and told police the rifle discharged while he was moving it. LoRusso was taken into custody and initially faced assault charges; in September 2022 he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to one to three years in state prison.

Sitar was a 2017 graduate of Dunmore High School, a standout soccer player, a Marine Corps member, an employee of Canada Dry, and a student at Lackawanna College. The community has honored his memory with annual memorial soccer games. If anyone knew Tyler or has information about the events that night, please share what can help the record.
