Jawan Anthony Washington was 20 when he was fatally shot just after 2:00 a.m. on March 24, 2018, in a vehicle parked behind Double D’s Bar on South 19th Street in Harrisburg. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds, rushed to Harrisburg Hospital and pronounced dead; a forensic pathologist determined he died from three gunshot wounds to his back, chest, and abdomen. Another man was injured and required surgery at Hershey Hospital.

Investigators initially sought three men for questioning and described a late 1990s or early 2000s two-toned red and tan Ford Windstar as the suspect vehicle. Security camera footage from the bar helped identify a primary suspect. Authorities later named Charles Williams, 39 at the time, as the alleged shooter, issued a homicide warrant, and took him into custody after a June 2018 SWAT situation at an apartment complex in Williamstown. Williams was charged in connection with Washington’s death.

If anyone saw activity behind Double D’s Bar that night or has information about the Ford Windstar or the people involved, please come forward.
