Nicole Cash, 26, died early on October 13, 2019, after a shooting inside a Sunset Drive home in West Manheim Township, York County, Pennsylvania. She had been living in McSherrystown and was the mother of a 9-month-old son. Court documents say an evening of drinking and an argument with her boyfriend ended with Cash shot in the head while she was holding her baby.

Police say the shooting occurred around 1 a.m. in the basement area where Joshua Wertz, then 30, was staying. Wertz’s father called 911 after his son came upstairs and said he had shot Cash. Investigators say Wertz told dispatchers and police he had been holding an AR-15 during an argument and Cash tried to grab the gun before it fired; officers found Cash dead and the infant with blood and biological material on his body and clothing. Wertz was taken into custody at the scene and charged with criminal homicide; several guns, including an AR-15, were recovered in the basement. Family members described Cash as a devoted mother and called the death a domestic violence tragedy, questioning the account that she could have grabbed the rifle while holding the baby.

Does anyone have information about Nicole, her son, or the evening of October 12–13, 2019?
