William Maurice Dowling, 25, of Philadelphia, was found shot to death along Poco Farm Road in Loyalsock Township, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on November 12, 2017. The Lycoming County Coroner reported Dowling had a slight pulse when paramedics arrived but died en route to the hospital. An autopsy showed multiple gunshot wounds, including a fatal shot to the chest.

Investigators arrested 22-year-old Zachary James Williams of Williamsport in connection with the shooting; he was charged with third-degree murder, illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm without a license. At a preliminary hearing, Joshua A. Cooley, who was present at the scene, testified that Williams shot Dowling after an argument and that Williams disposed of a .38 caliber pistol later recovered.

Dowling’s family and friends were left to mourn his death. Does anyone have information about Dowling’s activities in Williamsport or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
