On the morning of June 4, 2016, 25-year-old David Frankhouser Jr was shot on Penn Street in downtown Reading, Pennsylvania. The confrontation began after an earlier interaction that evening between Frankhouser’s girlfriend and a security guard, 33-year-old Kevin A. Miller, who had offered to walk her home and left his phone number at the apartment.

Surveillance footage shows Frankhouser running toward Miller around 4:30 a.m.; Miller fired a single shot that struck Frankhouser. Frankhouser was taken to Reading Hospital & Medical Center, underwent emergency surgery, and died of his injuries. Miller was arrested and charged with murder. At a two-day trial he said he acted in self-defense, telling jurors he believed Frankhouser had a knife and a gun. The jury accepted that claim and acquitted Miller of homicide and related charges.

Are there readers who were in downtown Reading that night or who knew David and can add context about what led to the confrontation?
