On the evening of September 11, 2019, 29-year-old Lawrence Alston of York, Pennsylvania, was shot multiple times and later died at York Hospital. The shooting occurred about 8:33 p.m. in the 500 block of West Princess Street while Alston and 42-year-old Charles McCallister were outside a residence. Both men ran to a nearby home on West Princess Street after being shot but collapsed and were found unresponsive; both later succumbed to their injuries.

Investigators recovered multiple shell casings and other evidence at the scene and stated early on that the attack did not appear random, with both victims believed to have been targeted. A separate shooting that same night left another man critically injured; authorities initially did not know whether the incidents were connected. No suspects were publicly identified and no arrests were made, and the case later went cold.

Did anyone in York have information about Alston’s movements or anyone who might have wanted to harm him?
