Vigil for homicide victim Erika KingAbout 75 people huddled along Boas Street in Harrisburg Thursday night to honor Erika King with a candlelight vigil and balloon launch.
The vigil honored King, a fun-loving, kind yet quick-tempered mother of two. The gathering was also used as a platform to send a message about domestic violence.Erika King was shot to death Tues., Dec. 28, 2021, inside 1816 Boas Street in Harrisburg, police said. Her long-time boyfriend Brian McCullough was charged with homicide the next day.
King’s first husband, Antjuan King, who attended the vigil, said people like his ex-wife shouldn’t have to experience domestic violence. Those facing it, he said should stay with a family member or find a safe place until they can file a protection from abuse order.“Everybody knew” Erika and McCullough’s relationship was toxic. At one point, he said he told her “it was going to end up bad.”

Woman shot to death at Harrisburg homeless campPeople at the camp under the Mulberry Street Bridge said when the woman first was found, they thought she died from natural causes. This is very disturbing. Where are our politicians and leaders to help our homeless? You can't go downtown without seeing it an no matter the leadership nobody republican or Democrat has changed it one bit. This needs addressed asap. I took gloves hats and food downtown like I do every winter season. This is a dereliction of duty IMHO.... beyond appalling
