Andrew Pristas, 30, was fatally shot on September 21, 2020, at the Valley High Mobile Home Park in Ruffs Dale, Pennsylvania. The shooting occurred during a domestic dispute with his former girlfriend, Megan J. West, who was 24 at the time. Police reports say West fired a .38 caliber revolver twice; investigators recovered the weapon and confirmed it had been fired two times. One round struck Pristas and caused his death.

West has been charged with criminal homicide and first-degree murder and was denied bail; she has been held in custody since her arrest. Prosecutors presented evidence that West and Pristas had a history of arguments and noted that West had a violent confrontation with another boyfriend hours before the shooting. The defense has argued West acted in self-defense, saying she fired after Pristas tried to break into her bedroom and that the first shot was intended as a warning. The district attorney continued reviewing evidence to determine whether deadly force was justified or avoidable.
