On the evening of Monday, April 14, 2025, 26-year-old Omari Wilson Jr. was shot and killed at the intersection of North 4th and Muench Streets in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Witnesses reported a dispute between two groups around 7:45 p.m., and two individuals wearing ski masks walked down Muench Street and opened fire, striking Wilson multiple times. Bystanders attempted life-saving measures and he was taken to Penn State Health Holy Spirit Hospital, where he later died. The Dauphin County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Family members described Wilson as optimistic, kind-hearted, a good listener and a devoted family man who loved the outdoors, hiking, and singing and dancing to country music. He had a son named Kaesir. Community members held a balloon release at the shooting scene and left flowers and candles in his memory.

Harrisburg police identified two suspects, 22-year-old Teriq Coleman and 23-year-old Aaron S. Hurtt, and charged both with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and carrying a firearm without a license; Coleman also faces a separate felony firearm-possession charge. As of early May 2026 both men remained at large and the investigation was ongoing. If anyone knew Omari or has information about the shooting or the suspects, please come forward to assist the investigation.
