Carbondale police were seen Friday afternoon investigating the site of an Easter Sunday shooting that killed one man and injured one other.
Three unmarked cars and a crime scene van were parked in front of the home on the 400 block of West Walnut Street where a late-night house party ended in gunfire. Multiple investigators could be seen scanning inside and outside the home with metal detectors.
Police are still searching for physical evidence related to the crime that took place Sunday, said Lt. Matt Goddard of the Carbondale Police Department. Any and all witnesses are encouraged to give statements to police as the investigation continues “no matter how insignificant,” Goddard said.
