Murder charge filed in Harrisburg street killing after months long probe
HARRISBURG, PA – A homicide investigation that began with gunfire at a city intersection late last year has now led to murder and firearms charges against a 26-year-old man accused of playing a central role in the deadly shooting.
Mar-Quan Long-Mason, 26, has been charged in connection with the December 30 homicide at South 25th and Burma Streets, where a victim was shot and killed. Prosecutors filed charges following investigative developments that culminated in Long-Mason’s arrest.
Court records show Long-Mason is charged with one count of murder, one count of carrying a firearm without a license, one count of possession of a firearm prohibited, two counts of recklessly endangering another person, and one count of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
The charges stem from allegations that Long-Mason was involved in the fatal shooting and actions taken afterward connected to the handling of evidence. Details regarding the victim have not been released in the charging documents.
The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information related to the homicide is asked to contact Harrisburg authorities or submit tips through the CRIMEWATCH system. As with all criminal cases, Long-Mason is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
