A Harrisburg man was arraigned on murder charges in an early morning fatal shooting on North 6th Street.  36-year-old Lagenza Junious, is accused of fatally shooting 21-year-old Adreanna Evans and seriously wounding her 19 year old campanion.  Police responded to a report of a shooting at an apartment in the 900 block of North 6th Street, just before 6 o’clock Friday morning.
