Ian Juma, 21, was shot and killed behind a residence on Eighth Avenue in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on the night of June 29, 2013. The shooting occurred about 10:20 p.m.; Juma was taken to St. Luke’s University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after midnight. He was a Liberty High School graduate and left behind a fiancée and a young son.

Investigators say the encounter was not random. Juma had arranged to meet someone for a marijuana transaction that turned into an argument; he was shot in the back. Police identified Kawan Morrison as the shooter and arrested another man, Darrell Turner, on drug charges tied to the meeting. Morrison later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder.

In December 2016 a judge sentenced Morrison to 12 to 24 years in state prison; during sentencing Morrison apologized to Juma’s family. Does anyone have memories of Ian or information about the night on Eighth Avenue that could shed more light on what happened?
