On October 27, 2020, Terrell Woodrow Coley, a 36-year-old Black male, was shot in the chest in the 500 block of Manor Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and was pronounced dead after being transported to a local hospital. A 24-year-old woman, later identified as Miranda Fernandez, was shot in the leg and survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police responded about 11:45 p.m., secured the scene, canvassed for witnesses, and collected surveillance video. Investigators said from the start they did not believe the shooting was random and that the suspect was acquainted with at least one victim. An initial public description named a male wearing a baseball-style hat, blue jeans, a white shirt, and a dark-colored jacket.

Authorities obtained a warrant for Isaac Sanchez, 35 at the time, who fled and was captured in Kentucky in 2021 after a vehicle pursuit. He was returned to Lancaster and later convicted by a jury of third-degree homicide, aggravated assault, and two felony firearms offenses; sentencing was set after a pre-sentence investigation. Does anyone have information about Coley’s life in Lancaster or that October night?
