Tyler Owens, 24, of York, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed in the early hours of Sunday, October 7, 2018, on the 100 block of South Richland Avenue. He was pronounced dead at York Hospital shortly after 3:30 a.m. The York City Police Department described his death as the result of a drug deal that went bad; investigators say the shooting occurred after a deal was arranged for Myannh Milo Legette and two other men to buy marijuana from Owens.

Three men were initially accused in connection with the killing. Zane Senft, 24, of Lebanon, ultimately pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a firearm and hindering apprehension after security video placed him at an ATM withdrawing cash for the marijuana deal; he was sentenced to 10 to 12 years in state prison. Rahmeire Bradshaw, 22, of Baltimore, had a homicide charge dropped, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery, and received 11½ to 23 months in prison plus five years probation. Myannh Milo Legette, 23, formerly of Lebanon, was convicted of first- and second-degree murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery and faces automatic life sentences without the possibility of parole.

The shooting prompted a targeted law enforcement response in York City’s west end as authorities addressed a rise in violent incidents. If anyone knew Tyler, witnessed activity on South Richland Avenue that night, or has information about the investigation, please come forward.
