Brenda Cisneros, a 22-year-old Hispanic woman, was fatally shot in Reading, Pennsylvania on May 27, 2015. She had been walking with her boyfriend, Nathaniel B. Spencer Jr., in the first block of South Eighth Street when an argument between Spencer and two other men, Wesley Allison and Jhamar S. Goodman, turned violent. Spencer produced a firearm and fired multiple shots; both Cisneros and Goodman were killed and Allison was wounded. Surveillance cameras in the area recorded the incident.

Spencer, then 27 and from Birdsboro, turned himself in to the Reading Police Department about two hours later and was charged with two counts of homicide. He later pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and possessing a firearm with an altered manufacturer’s number. Prosecutors disputed his claim of self-defense, citing the surveillance footage. Spencer was sentenced to 25 to 60 years in state prison and ordered to pay restitution to the victims’ families.

Did anyone in Reading see the argument before the shooting or have information about what started it?
