Willmar Santos-Batista, a 33-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot in the head during a drive-by shooting on June 20, 2021, near South West Street and West Mason Avenue in York, Pennsylvania. He was taken to WellSpan York Hospital and died the following morning.

Investigators linked the shooting to 34-year-old Tyrell Dotson of Germantown, Maryland. Dotson was arrested on July 2, 2021, after police executed a search warrant at his residence and recovered evidence tying him to the incident. He was charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure, and recklessly endangering another person. Kimberly Metz was charged with hindering apprehension for assisting Dotson in evading arrest; she later pleaded no contest and received a prison sentence. The trial ended with Dotson convicted on all counts, including first-degree murder, and sentenced to life without parole; Santos-Batista’s family delivered emotional testimony about the impact of his death.

If anyone has information about Santos-Batista’s last movements or the shooting, please come forward.
