On April 25, 2015, a dispute inside the Fifth Avenue Tavern in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, turned deadly when 29-year-old Yusef Ali Wilson was shot during an altercation with another patron. According to accounts, the exchange began as a verbal argument over a woman; Wilson threw a punch and then a chair at Derrick Jermaine Boone. Boone produced a handgun and fired, striking Wilson twice in the torso. Wilson was taken to Williamsport Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead about an hour later.

Two other bystanders — a man and a woman — suffered non-life-threatening leg wounds in the same shooting. Security camera footage from the tavern, without audio, reportedly captured the argument, Wilson throwing the chair, and Boone firing while Wilson was on his hands and knees. Boone fled the area but was located in the Cincinnati, Ohio, area on May 29, 2015, and later faced criminal charges. In November 2017 Boone pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault and was sentenced to 12 to 30 years in prison. The Fifth Avenue Tavern closed after the incident and was later demolished.
