A family dispute on a porch in the 400 block of Crescent Street in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, ended in the death of 43-year-old Eric L. Rivers Sr. The shooting occurred in the early morning hours of July 12, 2015; police arrived at 1:23 a.m. and found Rivers with a gunshot wound. Officers performed CPR until medical personnel took over, but Rivers was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Investigators identified 49-year-old Shawn Walker, a neighbor of Rivers’ cousin, as the person who shot Rivers and then left in a white Chevy Malibu. Walker was located and arrested by U.S. Marshals in North Carolina the following day and charged with criminal homicide and illegal possession of a gun. Friends and family held a vigil where Rivers, a father of ten remembered for his love of laughter, was mourned and his sister voiced forgiveness toward the accused.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or saw a white Chevy Malibu near Crescent Street that night, any information could help clarify what happened.
