A suspect was arrested on Monday in connection with a one-person fatal shooting at a Reading bar and restaurant, according to the City of Reading Police Department.
Kenneth Thompson Jr., 32, was arrested on Dec. 23 after investigators claimed he “purposely caused the death” of Paul Montgomery, 53, “by firing a gun in his direction” at the Lounge Bar and Restaurant on Nov. 15.

According to police, Thompson and Montgomery got into a verbal argument in the parking lot just outside the Lounge.
