Maurice Chapman was 31 when he was shot and killed on January 30, 2021, on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The same shooting also killed 32-year-old Damian Thomas and left a third man seriously wounded, turning a winter night into a double homicide that shook the local community.

Authorities identified 21-year-old Jayshawn Malik Johnson of Wilkes-Barre as a suspect and issued an arrest warrant charging him with criminal homicide and aggravated assault; officials described him as armed and dangerous as he left the state. A manhunt ended with Johnson’s capture in Miami, Florida, and he was returned to Pennsylvania to face charges in the killings.

Anyone who knew Maurice Chapman, remembers the night of January 30, 2021, or has information about the events on South Main Street is asked to come forward.
