A Harrisburg man wanted in a 2019 bar shooting that left one person with serious injuries is in custody, after an operation with the U.S. Marshals Service, the Marshals announced Thursday.
Kuami Wright, 36, was wanted in connection with a shooting at a bar on Aug. 4, 2019, the Marshals said. Wright was also wanted by the Lower Paxton Township Police Department on charges of terroristic threats and had a warrant for failure to appear by the Dauphin County Sheriff’s Office for not showing up to a court date on a charge of false reports to law enforcement.
Wright is charged with attempted homicide and lesser offenses in the shooting, the Marshals said.
Around 3 p.m. Thursday, the Marshals’ Fugitive Task Force arrested Wright without incident in the 1400 block of Herr Street, and he was turned over to the Dauphin County Booking Center.
“We place a high priority on fugitive cases in which the use of violence against victims occurs," United States Marshal Martin J. Pane said. "By working with our law enforcement partners to ensure violent offenders are brought to justice, communities throughout Pennsylvania become safer and more secure.”
State police, the state board of Probation and Parole, Harrisburg police, Swatara Township police, Lower Paxton Township police and the Dauphin County Adult Probation office all participated in the investigation.
