Update: The parents of suspect Jamel Barnwell turned him into police on Sunday night.

A 17-year-old suspect, Jamel Barnwell, is wanted in the investigation of a shooting at a bowling alley in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on Saturday night.

The shooting resulted in the death of one man, and injury of four others who were family members of the victim, ABC 6 reports.

The incident occurred at roughly 6:45 PM at the Our Town Alley on Saturday evening. Barnwell is wanted in the killing, and is being considered armed and dangerous by police, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said.

Barnwell reportedly entered the bowling alley with two other men. An altercation with the victim, 29-year-old Frank Wade then ensued. Barnwell allegedly fired 15 shots in the bowling alley, ABC 6 reports. According to Steele, there were as many as 50-75 people in the bowling alley at the time of the shooting, including children.

Harry Delmar was at the bowling alley with his family, including two young children, at the time of the shooting. "You start hearing, 'Pop pop pop pop pop.' You hear them going off and everyone started panicking, running toward the back," Delmar said.

Barnwell then reportedly fled the scene with the men he entered with, the group leaving behind three cell phones, one of which was reportedly Barnwell's.

"We are searching for all three men involved and are asking for the public's help in finding the shooter, Barnwell. If you see him, do not approach him as he is considered armed and dangerous having fled the bowling alley with the gun he used to kill Frank Wade," Steele said.

The four injured victims are listed as being in stable condition at a local hospital.

"He was a good person. Frank had a lot of hopes and dreams. He was never a violent person. He was never in the streets. He wanted better," said Syreta Stanford.
