Antoine Byers Jr. was 17 when he was shot and killed on the evening of August 12, 2024, at the intersection of 18th and Regina Streets in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He enjoyed football, wrestling, and music and had plans to enlist in the U.S. Army. Surveillance footage shows a physical altercation between Antoine and a female minor, during which he drew a handgun and fired three shots toward the girl; no one was struck by those shots.

Thirty-year-old Rashad Neal arrived in a gray Nissan Altima with three others, exited the vehicle, and — using a gun owned by someone else in the car — fired back, fatally wounding Antoine. The Dauphin County District Attorney’s office later reviewed the video and ruled the shooting an act of self-defense; Antoine’s father, Antoine Byers Sr., publicly agreed after viewing the footage. Neal was not charged with murder but an arrest warrant was issued on felony counts including illegal possession of a firearm and fleeing to another state to avoid arrest, as he has a prior North Carolina murder conviction and reportedly fled to North Carolina.

Does anyone have information about Antoine’s last movements that night or about the vehicle and occupants who arrived at the scene?
