Elizabeth Vega-Tirado, 48, was killed on the afternoon of June 27, 2017, after leaving Bev’s Grocery in York, Pennsylvania. She was crossing West Princess Street at South Belvidere Avenue around 3:45 p.m. when gunfire erupted between two groups. A vehicle cut her off as she stepped into the street; when she stepped back to avoid the car she was struck in the head by a stray bullet. A bag of groceries lay beside her where she fell and emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene.

York City Police recovered three 9mm and two .22 caliber shell casings. Witnesses described a teen, later identified as 16-year-old Leandro Pilier, stepping off a nearby porch, producing a handgun from his waistband and firing eastward down the street in the direction of where Vega-Tirado was hit, then walking away through a breezeway. Pilier was charged as an adult with criminal homicide and later convicted of third-degree murder.

Does anyone have information about what happened that afternoon or knew Elizabeth and can share details that might help remember her?
