Parker Palermo was 20 when he was shot outside an after-hours club called Club Vibe at the former Castle Restaurant on North Main Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The shooting occurred early on May 12, 2019; Parker was struck in the abdomen and died later that day at Geisinger Community Medical Center. Two other people were wounded in the same incident.

The Lackawanna County Coroner ruled the death a homicide. Investigators said more than one person may have been firing, and they identified a man who owned a security company—who was not working that night—as one of the shooters. Scranton police and the county district attorney’s office opened an investigation to determine whether the killing was criminal or committed in self-defense. The city council and neighbors called for Club Vibe to be closed after the shooting.

Parker was a lifelong Scranton resident who loved music, hoped to be a songwriter and rapper, and enjoyed football and the Steelers. He is survived by his girlfriend, Amber Williams, his younger twin brothers Quinten and Cameron, and his unborn daughter, Catalina Parker Palermo. Is there anyone who was at Club Vibe that morning or who remembers seeing Parker that night who can come forward?
