On May 30, 2014, 35-year-old Ronald M. McGruder Jr., a Black man from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was found fatally shot on the sidewalk in the 1100 block of Hanover Street. Police were called around 2 a.m.; McGruder was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses reported a full-sized sedan leaving northbound on Cameron Street from Hanover Street, and one resident said they were awakened by screaming and saw McGruder with two brothers just before gunfire.

Investigators tied the shooting to a dispute two nights earlier in which McGruder argued with Justin Asaad Cooke and accused Justin’s brother, Miles Cooke, of involvement in the 2013 death of McGruder’s friend Warren Beasley. On the night McGruder was killed he was seen leaving a bar called Double D’s with Justin and Miles in a tan Audi driven by Miles. In October 2014 both brothers were charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder; Miles Cooke was arrested and taken to Dauphin County Prison and later convicted for his role in the killing.

Did anyone in Harrisburg see McGruder or that tan Audi around Hanover and Cameron streets that night?
