On January 17, 2013, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, 42-year-old Leroy Smith, an African American male, was shot multiple times and found dead on the sidewalk outside a bar in the 100 block of Scott Street. The patrol officer who responded to reports of gunfire located Smith outside Don Kasper’s Watering Hole; Luzerne County Acting Coroner William Lisman pronounced him dead at the scene at 4:15 a.m.

The shooting happened about 2:30 a.m. that morning. In the same incident, 20-year-old Jamel Martin, also an African American male, was critically wounded by a gunshot to the head and died roughly 12 hours later at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. A third person was wounded and expected to recover. Authorities ruled Smith’s death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds; no arrests or suspects have been identified and the motive remains unclear.

Did anyone in Wilkes-Barre that night see or hear anything that could help investigators identify who was responsible?
