Eliud Marrero Morales was 30 and from Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Known to family as Eliudcito, Eli, or Gordo, he attended Shikellamy High School and worked at ConAgra Foods in Milton. On the night of November 2, 2023, a dispute that began over the phone escalated after both men stopped on the 400 block of Market Street to confront each other. Prosecutors say 18-year-old Jose David Jusino-Morales produced a firearm and shot Marrero Morales multiple times; officers found Marrero Morales deceased in the middle of the street. An autopsy reported four gunshot wounds to the back and two to the head.

A relative who arrived at the scene told police he believed Jusino-Morales was involved, and Jusino-Morales was already at the police station nearby. He was arrested and charged with criminal homicide; his passenger, 23-year-old Armando Pena-Alvayero, was charged with tampering with evidence and possessing a firearm without a license after investigators say Pena-Alvayero received the gun and later told police he threw it in the river. At trial, Jusino-Morales claimed self-defense and sought to introduce a 2021 incident in which Marrero Morales allegedly attacked him with a tire iron. A jury convicted Jusino-Morales of third-degree murder and related offenses, and a judge sentenced him to 22 to 47 years in prison.

Did anyone in Sunbury know Eliud or have information about the events that led to that night on Market Street?
