On a spring evening in Reading, Pennsylvania, Jhamar S. Goodman, 32, was fatally shot on May 27, 2015. The shooting occurred in the first block of South Eighth Street after an argument between Nathaniel B. Spencer Jr., who was with his girlfriend Brenda Cisneros, and another man, Wesley Allison, who was with Goodman. The dispute turned physical and Spencer produced a firearm, firing multiple shots that struck Goodman, 22-year-old Cisneros, and Allison. Goodman and Cisneros died of their wounds; Allison survived with injuries.

Nathaniel B. Spencer Jr., then 27, turned himself in to the Reading Police Department within hours. Surveillance footage captured the argument and the shooting. Spencer later pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and possessing a firearm with an altered manufacturer’s number, and was sentenced to 25 to 60 years in state prison with restitution ordered to Goodman’s and Cisneros’s families.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation on South Eighth Street or has information about that night, please share what is known.
