ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Police are investigating a Sunday morning shooting that left a woman dead and a man injured.<\/p>\n
Allentown Police said they responded around 4:15 a.m. to Mamajuana in the 1000 block of Union Boulevard.<\/p>\n
They said a 28-year-old woman was located with a gunshot wound. Police said she later died at the hospital.<\/p>\n
The coroner identified her as Blessing Taveras from North Whitehall Township. Her manner of death was ruled a homicide.<\/p>\n
Neighbor Joseph Konrath said police asked him if he had surveillance footage of an incident at one of the lounges.<\/p>\n
“Especially since the summer, after 2 a.m. there’s a lot of noise, a lot of traffic coming from these lounges,” said Konrath.<\/p>\n
According to police, a 28-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his leg arrived at the hospital on his own. They said they believe he was injured during the same shooting and that his injuries are non-life-threatening. Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.<\/p>\n
The coroner said an autopsy is scheduled for Monday. So far, there is no word on any arrests or a motive for the shooting.<\/p>\n
“We used to feel very safe here on the East Side, but now it’s getting to a point where after dark, after 11:00 or 11:30 at night, you tend to close the traipse and make sure that everything is locked up,” said Konrath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Police are investigating a Sunday morning shooting that left a woman dead and a man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[214,119,121,120,31,805],"class_list":["post-129225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-crime","tag-lehighvalley"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
