Rhonda McPeak, 48, of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, was killed on August 4, 2019 during an armed robbery at the Uni-Mart in the Newberry section of Williamsport. Community members remembered her for generosity and kindness, and a vigil was held to honor her life and call for an end to local violence.

The investigation led to the arrest of 21-year-old Williamsport resident Ikeem Fogan, who was charged with criminal homicide, robbery, and related offenses. At trial, the jury found Fogan had entered the Uni-Mart, shot Rhonda McPeak, and wounded the store clerk, JoBeth Wetzel, during the robbery. In September 2021 Fogan was convicted on all counts and received life in prison without parole; he was also ordered to pay restitution to Rhonda’s daughter to cover funeral costs.

Rhonda’s death left a lasting impact on family and neighbors while her reputation for helping others was widely noted. If anyone knew Rhonda or has information about the case, please share what you remember.
