In the spring of 2018, 34-year-old Jelson Dejesus-Ortiz was shot during a violent incident that ended on a Pennsylvania highway. On the night of April 9, what was first reported as a crash on Route 72 in Cornwall proved to be a double homicide: Dejesus-Ortiz and 27-year-old Alexis Rafael Perez-Garcia were found on the roadway with gunshot wounds after the vehicle they occupied struck a barrier. Dejesus-Ortiz was taken to Hershey Medical Center and died of two gunshot wounds; Perez-Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene from a single shot to the back.

Investigators say the killings followed an earlier robbery that day at the Riverfront Credit Union in Wyomissing. Authorities identified 37-year-old Gilberto Torres-Reyes as the suspect and say he offered each man $400 to drive him to Pittsburgh. Witnesses reportedly saw the victims leave with Torres-Reyes, and each victim was later found with $400 in his pocket. Investigators allege Torres-Reyes shot both men from the back seat while the car was moving, then fled; U.S. Marshals captured him in New York City on April 13, 2018. Torres-Reyes was charged with two counts of criminal homicide, illegal possession of a firearm, reckless endangerment, and fleeing apprehension, and had earlier pleaded guilty to the credit union robbery.

Did anyone in the community know Dejesus-Ortiz or have information about his movements that day?
