Pennsylvania State Police are searching for 19-year-old Braedon Dickinson, who they have identified as a person of interest in the shooting death of 20-year-old Lemaur Thompson Jr. The shooting happened around 5 p.m. on Dunlap Street.

“We have a number of troopers as well as Uniontown State Police Department looking. We will continue to make our best efforts to locate,” District Attorney Mike Aubele said.

The district attorney said Thompson and Dickinson were familiar with each other, and advised the public not to approach Dickinson but to call 911 if he is seen.
