On the evening of November 10, 2017, 26-year-old Jimmy Avila-Velez was fatally shot while walking in the 500 block of West Newton Avenue in York, Pennsylvania. He was struck in the neck and torso and was pronounced dead at the scene; the York County Coroner ruled the death a homicide. Authorities said they believed Avila-Velez had been specifically targeted rather than shot at random.

York City Police arrested 16-year-old Yonti Ritter on November 15, 2017; Ritter was charged with criminal homicide, and police said they were also investigating several others who were with Ritter at the time. Surveillance video of the incident was later referenced during court proceedings.

If anyone was in that area that night or has information about who accompanied Ritter, please come forward with what was seen or recorded.
