Basil Hall, 27, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of January 9, 2016, on Park Avenue in Williamsport just outside the Pajama Factory. He had been leaving an after-hours party in the building at about 2:45 a.m. when at least two shooters confronted the unarmed Hall and fired multiple times. A neighbor reported hearing a loud bang like a firecracker followed by several shots and a car speeding away without headlights.

Neighbors who ran to help found Hall bleeding from his chest and mouth; one tried to keep him conscious until emergency crews arrived. He was taken to UPMC Susquehanna Williamsport Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead on arrival. Investigators say the shooting was not random and that the assailant or assailants knew Hall and intended to target him. The case remains unsolved with no arrests or publicly identified suspects, and Hall is survived by his mother and two young children.

Did anyone attend that after-hours event or see vehicles or people leaving the Pajama Factory around 2:45 a.m. on January 9, 2016?
