In the late hours of a Saturday night in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the life of 20-year-old David Matthew Henry was tragically cut short. On October 22, 2016, a quiet evening was shattered by a violent home invasion on the 500-block of Calder Street. Three masked individuals forced their way into the residence, forever altering the lives of those inside.
During the course of the home invasion, David was shot in the abdomen.
Despite the prompt arrival of Harrisburg Police just after 10:30 p.m., his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Another person in the home, reported by neighbors to be his grandmother, was also a victim of the senseless violence, suffering a gunshot wound to her hand. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The assailants fled the scene after the shooting, disappearing into the night. In the immediate aftermath, law enforcement began an investigation into the homicide. Authorities reached out to the public for assistance, with the Dauphin County Crime Stoppers offering a reward of up to $2,000 for any information that would lead to an arrest in the case. Described by those who knew him as a 'very sweet boy,' David's death was a heartbreaking loss to his community.
Despite the ongoing investigation and the public appeal for information, details regarding the identification and apprehension of the suspects have not been made public. There have been no subsequent news reports or official announcements detailing any arrests, charges, or convictions in connection with the murder of David Matthew Henry. The case, a brutal and sudden act of violence that claimed a young man's life, remains unresolved in the public record.
