As Daily Voice has previously reported, Dennard was shot dead at Legends bar on North 5th Street Highway in Muhlenberg Township just after 3 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 16.

Now, township police are charging Jose Daniel Pizarro, 24, of Reading, with first-degree murder, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest, according to court filings.

Judicial records also show that Pizarro was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and receiving stolen property in a 2016 case, though details were not immediately available.

A $10,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to Pizzaro's arrest, WFMZ reports.
