Malik T. Stern-Jones was an 18-year-old from Harrisburg who died on August 19, 2014, after being shot while sitting in his car in the Hall Manor area of the city. The bullet struck his neck; the medical finding cited a gunshot wound to the neck from a 12-gauge shotgun fired at a distance of about 5–7 feet.

Malik had recently graduated from Harrisburg High School, worked as a laborer for Chewy.com, and was a father to four young children. The Harrisburg Police Department investigated the shooting. A 15-year-old cousin, Niejea Stern, was arrested and charged with the murder; reports say Niejea had escaped from a juvenile detention center before the incident. The motive for the shooting was not clearly established.

The community held a vigil attended by Malik’s family as they grieved and sought answers. If anyone knew Malik, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
