On the evening of May 30, 2019, 22-year-old Tyreek Shyheim Gardner was shot and killed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The incident began with a confrontation on the 300 block of East Fulton Street when Gardner was approached by Ryan Rivera and Brian Paltan. After an attempted punch by Paltan, Gardner ran; Rivera and Paltan chased him on foot while firing shots that missed.

A Volkswagen Passat driven by Vladimir Paltan then arrived, and Rivera and Brian Paltan continued the pursuit from the vehicle. The car caught up with Gardner on the 500 block of East Chestnut Street, where shots were fired from the moving vehicle. Gardner was struck multiple times, collapsed on the sidewalk, and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators identified Rivera, Brian Paltan and Vladimir Paltan as suspects, and a fourth man, Daniel Pineda, was implicated for lying to police and warning Rivera. Who in the Lancaster community might have seen the chase or other activity that night and can help fill in remaining details?
