Selvin Solo Harris McEwan, 30, was shot and killed in York, Pennsylvania, on October 3, 2021. Police responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence on East Poplar Street and found McEwan with gunshot wounds to his chest and torso; he was taken to York Hospital and later died. A woman at the scene told officers McEwan had physically assaulted her earlier in the incident.

Investigators recovered five spent shell casings. Christian Galarza-Rodriguez, 39, was identified as the suspect; he later admitted possessing a firearm without a license and pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and prohibited possession of a firearm in connection with McEwan’s death, receiving a 15-year state prison sentence as part of a plea deal. Records say Rodriguez had a prior felony drug conviction that prohibited him from having a gun. Reports describe an altercation in which Rodriguez pulled a knife, McEwan produced two knives, a witness briefly calmed things, and Rodriguez then produced a firearm and shot McEwan multiple times.

McEwan is remembered by family as fun-loving, with a great smile; he worked at Harley-Davidson in York, enjoyed video games and computers, and is survived by three siblings, his paternal grandparents, and other relatives. Does anyone have information about the events that evening or knew Selvin’s movements earlier that day?
