BETHLEHEM, Pa. – A man died of his injuries over the weekend after being shot in Bethlehem earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Quamir J. Davis, 20, of Bethlehem, was pronounced dead Saturday afternoon at a hospital, Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio said in a news release.<\/p>\n

Buglio said Davis died of gunshot wounds and that the death is being ruled a homicide.<\/p>\n

Bethlehem police said nobody is in custody yet in connection with the shooting.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened Thursday, Oct. 8, around 6 p.m., on the 1100 block of Merriman Court in Bethlehem<\/a>, Buglio said.<\/p>\n

As with all criminal death investigations, an autopsy is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 19, at the Lehigh County Coroner’s Office and Forensic Center, Buglio said.<\/p>\n

The Bethlehem Police Department, the Northampton County District Attorney\u2019s Office, and the Lehigh County Coroner\u2019s Office & Forensic Center are investigating.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur office extends its deepest condolences to Mr. Davis\u2019s family and loved ones during this difficult time,\u201d Buglio said.<\/p>\n

Another man was injured in the shooting. In a news release Monday, the Bethlehem Police Department said he\u00a0has since been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
