Amon Corsa-Romain was a 17-year-old male from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, whose life ended after an early-morning shooting inside a home on the 1900 block of Kensington Street. Online sources identify the shooting as happening around 3 a.m. on Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Police found Amon in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the face, and he was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and surgery.
For a short time, Amon remained alive as doctors tried to save him.
By the following afternoon, police were notified that he had succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Some memorial sources list him as lost to gun violence on April 29, 2015, while obituary and news sources report that he died on April 30, 2015, at Hershey Medical Center. He was remembered as a Harrisburg High School student who wrestled for the Jackhammers, played football for the Swatara Tigers, ran track, enjoyed drawing, and attended Cross Road Baptist Church.
The suspect identified by police was Kenneth Hunter, who was 19 at the time. Hunter had already been charged in connection with the shooting before Amon died, and after Amon’s death, authorities upgraded the case to criminal homicide. Reported charges included criminal homicide, carrying a firearm without a license, and tampering with evidence. He was arraigned and taken to Dauphin County Prison, with bail reported as unavailable or denied in connection with the homicide charge.
Police publicly released only limited details about what led to the shooting. The available reporting described the scene and the charges but did not give a full motive, a detailed account of the moments before the gunfire, or any indication that more than one suspect was being sought. News reports at the time focused on Hunter as the person charged in the shooting and later in Amon’s death.
Online court- and records-related materials reviewed showed that a Kenneth Hunter later filed a 2025 Right-to-Know request with the City of Harrisburg seeking a police incident report tied to a specified criminal docket number, along with other records such as notes, 911 audio, and body camera material. The City denied access to the police report on the basis that it was a criminal investigative record, and the Office of Open Records transferred the appeal to the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office because it lacked jurisdiction over that type of law-enforcement record.
I did not find a reliable online source confirming a final conviction, acquittal, plea, sentence, or punishment for Kenneth Hunter in Amon Corsa-Romain’s death. The available online reporting confirms the arrest and homicide charge, but the accessible sources reviewed did not provide a documented final case outcome.
