Duane Lee Banks, known to many in Chester as Duane B, was shot and killed shortly after midnight on September 9, 2006, outside the 501 Bar in Chester, Pennsylvania. Reports say he arrived after an earlier argument inside the bar and appeared to investigators and witnesses to be an innocent bystander when violence spilled outside. He was taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center but died a short time later.

The shooting was linked by witnesses to the earlier confrontation that evening. A suspect identified as Jamal Handy-Harris-Muhammed was charged and held for trial on first-degree murder charges after a preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge Horace Davis. Janika Harris, identified as his sister, was also charged and waived her preliminary hearing.
