Matthew Alexander Bell, 32, was fatally shot inside a home on South Penn Street in York, Pennsylvania, on the evening of February 12, 2018. Bell was holding a one-year-old child when he was killed; a 17-year-old male was also wounded in the same incident.

The shooting was reported as York’s first homicide of that year and prompted public condemnation from Mayor Michael Helfrich. The York City Police Department opened an investigation, but the case remains unsolved and no suspects or arrests have been publicly announced as of early 2026.

If anyone was in the South Penn Street area that evening or has information about the people involved, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
