On the late afternoon of Friday, May 29, 2026, 17-year-old Camar Cordero was shot immediately after stepping off his school bus at North Sixth and Emerald streets in Harrisburg. Gunfire was reported at about 3:15 p.m.; officers found Cordero with a gunshot wound, emergency aid was given and he was taken to a local hospital where he later died. Initial reports misidentified his age as 15, but the Dauphin County Coroner’s Office confirmed he was 17.

Police say surveillance footage led investigators to a suspect the next day. Sixteen-year-old Jeremiah Moran, who was known to Cordero, was taken into custody and charged as an adult with murder, carrying a firearm without a license, and possession of a firearm by a minor. Authorities have described the shooting as targeted; a specific motive has not been disclosed.

Friends, family and community members held a balloon release at the shooting site and the Harrisburg School District has provided grief counseling. Does anyone have information about Camar’s activities that afternoon or about the area around North Sixth and Emerald streets at 3:15 p.m. on May 29?
