Khadir Qur’an Duffin, a 21-year-old Black man from Harrisburg, died on April 13, 2026, after being shot in the chest on the 200 block of Herr Street.

Preliminary dispatch information reported that Duffin was cleaning guns when one discharged. Reports did not make clear whose home the shooting occurred in, who handled the firearm, or the sequence of events immediately before the shot that struck him. Gun-violence memorials and funeral pages recorded his life dates as March 24, 2005, to April 13, 2026, and remembered him as Khadir Qur’an Duffin, known as KD, a young father noted for his energy, humor, confidence, and devotion to family.

If anyone knew Khadir, was at the Herr Street location that evening, or has information about the handling of firearms there, please come forward.
