Wayne Allen Weedon Jr., 25, was shot on the evening of April 10, 2016, in Girard Park near the 600 block of East Maple Street in York, Pennsylvania. Gunfire erupted shortly after 7 p.m. while people were gathered near the basketball courts; nearly a dozen shots were reported. Weedon was taken to York Hospital and pronounced dead at 7:32 p.m. Two other men were wounded and treated for their injuries.

Police characterized the shooting as targeted and later said the confrontation grew out of a dispute between two groups. One account reported that two visiting high school students had attempted to buy marijuana and were robbed, and the dispute followed them to Girard Park before escalating. Investigators sought multiple people for questioning and obtained arrest warrants for brothers Brady Koehler (21 at the time) and Bradley Koehler (16 at the time). Both later turned themselves in and were prosecuted.

Brady Koehler pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received 4½ to 9 years in prison; Bradley Koehler, who was later an adult when he entered a plea, also pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received the same sentence. Wayne is survived by his parents, Patricia Smith and Wayne A. Weedon Sr., and by two children, Wayne Allen Weedon III and A’Yajha Serenity Miller. Does anyone have information about the evening at Girard Park or knew Wayne and his family?
