On October 21, 2018, 17-year-old Ruban Dejesus was shot and killed on Linden Avenue in York, Pennsylvania. Dejesus, a student at William Penn Senior High School, was with 20-year-old Marquis Marky Butts when the deadly encounter occurred. The three had arranged to meet 34-year-old Marquise Stanley under the pretense of a marijuana sale, but Dejesus and Butts intended to rob Stanley. During the attempted robbery, Stanley produced a firearm and shot Dejesus.

Emergency crews found Dejesus around 11:30 p.m. on the 600 block of Linden Avenue; he was taken to York Hospital and pronounced dead. Stanley later claimed he acted in self-defense. Butts fled the scene; police later identified him as a suspect and charged him by warrant with criminal homicide, robbery, and criminal conspiracy to commit robbery. Marquis Treavon Butts was later listed as an inmate in York County in August 2023.
