Williamsport police and Lycoming County Coroner Charles Kiessling Jr. have confirmed that the man rushed late Friday night to UPMC Williamsport with gunshot wounds has died.

No arrest has been made in this latest city homicide. Williamsport police and paramedics were dispatched to a shooting in the 1100 block of West Fourth street about 11:40 p.m.

The victim was quickly loaded into the back of an ambulance, which then sped off to UPMC Williamsport. It was reported the victim was “in cardiac arrest.”

Kiessling said the 25-year-old victim never regained consciousness.

Minutes after the ambulance took off to the hospital, a woman arrived in a car – very distraught and talking on a cellphone.

Besides city police, officers from the Pennsylvania College of Technology and Old Lycoming Township also responded to the scene.

Several yellow markers were placed in the street to show casings or other evidence related to the shooting. The intersection was closed off to traffic.

The Williamsport Bureau of Police said in a news release, ” Despite the lack of cooperation from the large number of persons who were present at the scene, officers will continue every effort to successfully solve this investigation. Units from the Pennsylvania State Police Forensic Services Unit assisted with helping WBP Investigators process the crime scene.” 

Investigation into this incident is ongoing. If you have any information regarding this incident please contact Agt. Christopher Salisbury at 570-327-7560 ext 7593, via email at csalisbury@cityofwilliamsport.org
