Edgardo Luis Bermudez-Melendez, 31, of West York, Pennsylvania, disappeared on the night of March 13, 2022. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, gray shorts, a black windbreaker jacket and running sneakers, and was believed to be driving a gray 2014 Mazda 3 with Pennsylvania plate LWC-2762. He was reported missing the next day.

On the morning of March 19, 2022, a body found at the bottom of an embankment along Holtwood Road near the Holtwood Bridge in Martic Township, Lancaster County, was identified as Bermudez-Melendez. The Lancaster County Coroner’s Office determined he died from gunshot wounds and ruled the death a homicide. Investigators later alleged he had been shot in York City on March 13 at a garage on West Gas Avenue, then placed in a vehicle trunk, driven to southern Lancaster County and discarded down the embankment.

Authorities cited witness statements, surveillance footage and phone-related evidence. On August 16, 2022, Carlos Omar Rivera-Rivera II, 24 at the time, was charged with criminal homicide, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and abuse of a corpse; bail was reported denied. No confirmed trial outcome was provided in the reporting reviewed.

Does anyone have information about Bermudez-Melendez’s movements on March 13, 2022, or about the gray 2014 Mazda 3 with plate LWC-2762?
