A violent confrontation outside the Silver Lake Tavern in Delaware Township, Pennsylvania, ended the life of 23-year-old Kristopher Hanscom of Bushkill. Hanscom was shot in the face on August 18, 2015, when another patron, identified as Jared Masker, 31, of Milford, allegedly approached him, gave him 30 seconds to leave, pulled a revolver under Hanscom’s jaw and fired. Large amounts of blood and several of Hanscom’s teeth were left at the scene.

He was taken to a hospital and died on August 19, 2015, from a gunshot wound to the head sustained the previous day. The suspect fled but was located the next day in Branchville, New Jersey, and charged; the investigation was treated as a homicide after Hanscom’s death.

Anybody who knew Kristopher, was at the tavern that night, or has information about the confrontation is asked to come forward.
