A night out at a family-friendly bowling alley in East Norriton, Pennsylvania, ended in homicide on February 20, 2021. Frank Wade, 29, a father of two and an aspiring chef from Philadelphia, was at Our Town Alley with relatives when a confrontation escalated into gunfire. Surveillance shows 17-year-old Jamel Barnwell of Upper Darby arriving with two others shortly before 7 p.m.; minutes later Barnwell produced a .45 caliber handgun with an extended magazine and fired about 15 shots. Wade was struck and, according to footage, was fired on again while lying on the floor.

Four relatives, ages 18 to 31, were wounded and later reported to be recovering. Investigators recovered Barnwell’s cellphone at the scene with photos of him and a handgun. A manhunt followed; Barnwell surrendered the next night and was charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and aggravated assault. Authorities said it was unclear whether Wade and Barnwell knew each other beforehand, and two other men who were with Barnwell that night were being sought.
