In the early hours of July 9, 2017, 34-year-old Anthony James Wisneski was shot and killed after a confrontation outside Risnick’s Bar on East Main Street in Plymouth, Pennsylvania. Accounts say an argument inside the bar involved another patron and a man identified as Anthony Jackson, who suggested taking the dispute outside. Wisneski and bar security accompanied the two men outside, where Jackson produced a firearm and shot Wisneski multiple times. A cousin later said Wisneski had been trying to de-escalate, reportedly attempting to shake Jackson’s hand.

Wisneski was taken to Geisinger Hospital and pronounced dead by emergency room staff. Police identified Jackson as the suspect; he was located and arrested later that same day in Upper Leacock Township, Lancaster County, and brought back to Luzerne County to face charges. Was anyone in Plymouth that night able to see what happened outside the bar or could provide additional details?
