ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Family members of an Allentown man who was gunned down say they are in shock and looking for answers.
A man was found shot to death in his garage in Allentown Wednesday night, police said.
Officers were called around 8:15 p.m. to a garage in the unit block of S. Leh Street for a report of an unresponsive man, police said in a news release Friday.
There they found Joshua Kressler, 42, dead of a gunshot wound to the body, said the Lehigh County coroner’s office.
An autopsy was performed Friday and his death was ruled a homicide, the coroner said.
Allentown police, the Lehigh County district attorney’s homicide team and the coroner’s office are investigating.
Authorities did not comment further on what happened or if any arrests have been made.
“We need to get justice for him because nobody deserves this,” said Kippi Kressler, Joshua’s sister, who spoke with 69 News over the phone.
She says her family is reeling and says they just found out Friday Joshua had been shot.
Kippi says Joshua always put others before himself and was a loving father to two young boys.
“He was an all-around good guy. He would give the shirt off his back. He was loving. He was caring. His two little boys were his world,” she said.
