Melvyn C.C. Frazier Jr., 21, was fatally shot in the early hours of June 22, 2025, in the 1200 block of Oak Lane in Reading, Pennsylvania. Police were called about 5 a.m.; Frazier was taken to Tower Health Reading Hospital, where he died. He had traveled from Lynchburg, Virginia, and was staying in Reading for the summer with his aunt. Relatives said he had been out that night before the shooting.

Investigators said the shooting followed a house party in the neighborhood and that early reports mentioned an altercation involving several people before gunfire erupted. Community groups and local media amplified appeals for information through the summer as family members pleaded for help identifying the person responsible. As of August, police reported they were still searching for the shooter, no arrests had been announced, and officials continued to urge witnesses to contact investigators or Crime Alert Berks.

Does anyone who was in the Oak Lane area on June 22 have information that might help investigators?
