On the afternoon of December 23, 2020, police in York, Pennsylvania, responded to a shooting in the 600 block of East Philadelphia Street and found 27-year-old Jasmine Barnes with multiple gunshot wounds. The York County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a homicide; the cause was gunshot wounds and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say an altercation at a house escalated into an exchange of gunfire, during which Barnes was struck. Authorities indicated both Barnes and an unidentified man were armed and have said Barnes may have been caught in the crossfire rather than the intended target. Her death was the city’s 12th homicide that year.

York police identified two people they wanted to question: Michael Anthony Adams, 47, of Baltimore, for hindering apprehension and concealing or destroying evidence, and 31-year-old Brittany Lasha Calloway of York. The shooter remains unidentified and no arrest in the homicide has been announced. If anyone has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
