James Wesley Bair, 45, was found fatally shot in the first block of North 18th Street in Harrisburg in the early morning hours of July 30, 2017. Emergency personnel responded, but he succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Known as Big Bair to family and friends, he was a Harrisburg High School graduate who enjoyed construction work and music. His mother and stepfather, sister and a wide circle of relatives and friends were left to mourn a sudden, targeted attack.

Harrisburg Police opened a homicide investigation, canvassed for witnesses and have treated the shooting as targeted, but no suspects were identified immediately and the case remained unsolved; investigators appealed to the public and offered a reward for tips leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew James, saw activity on North 18th Street that morning, or has information that could help, please come forward.
