“Double Homicide in Williamsport, PA: Person of Interest in Custody, No Threat to Public”

Accident – death – Obituary News : Williamsport, PA – Authorities have announced that a person of interest connected to a double homicide in Williamsport is now in custody. Lycoming County District Attorney Tom Marino addressed the media during a press conference held at the Trade and Transit Centre II on Saturday morning, assuring the public that there is no immediate threat to their safety.

Williamsport Chief of Police Justin Snyder revealed that the suspect is in custody on charges related to a Protection from Abuse (PFA) order. However, it has not been confirmed whether the PFA was against either of the shooting victims. Snyder also declined to comment on any potential connections between the suspect and the victims, who have been identified as Ronald Dailey and Alisha Seese.

Snyder stated, “There is a person of interest that has been spoken to. Our agents and detectives are following up on leads and executing search warrants.” Both victims were employees at Lycoming Engines, located at 652 Oliver Street in Williamsport. The couple was found deceased inside a vehicle on Terrace Place, a short distance away from the business. It was revealed that they had finished their shifts a few hours prior to the shooting.

During the press conference, Marino urged residents living near the area of the shooting, particularly those with security systems, to provide any relevant footage. “We want to know if there was anyone outside Amico (Lycoming Engines) that we haven’t talked with, who have a security system outside their house,” Marino said. “Any video of what is happening on their property or who is walking down the street or parking a car.”

The investigation is still in its early stages, but Marino expressed confidence that they are heading in the right direction. “This wasn’t a random shooting,” he emphasized. “I want to emphasize there is no threat to the public.” Snyder added that several agencies, including the Williamsport Bureau of Police and the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office, are collaborating on the investigation. He commended their efforts, stating, “Our detectives and agents have been working tirelessly since late last night to collect evidence. It’s a great collective effort.”

Marino also stressed the importance of limiting the release of information at this point. “We feel like we are heading in the right direction,” he said. “We don’t want to spook anybody at this point. We don’t want someone leaving town. We’re on the right track. We’re just taking it a step at a time.”

The Williamsport Police responded to a report of shots fired in the area, leading them to discover the two victims inside a vehicle. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Agent Laura Kitko at 570-327-7560 ext. 7558 or lkitko@cityofwilliamsport.org.

In conclusion, the community of Williamsport is reeling from the tragic incident that claimed the lives of Ronald Dailey and Alisha Seese. As the investigation progresses, authorities are determined to bring justice to the victims and their families. The cooperation and support of the local residents are crucial in helping to solve this case and ensure the safety of the community..
