Ahmeen Meeno Brown Clanton, 30, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on January 28, 2016 near Shippen Street and Howard Avenue after an argument with two unidentified men. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of Kendell Charles Foster, 25, of Lancaster. Foster was charged with criminal homicide, later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and admitted firing one .357-caliber round into Clanton’s head. The handgun was recovered from a home where Foster had been staying. Foster was sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison as part of a plea deal. Assistant District Attorney Christine Wilson commented on the impact of gun violence on the community, and Foster’s prior record, including a robbery conviction, was noted during sentencing.

Anyone who witnessed the argument near Shippen and Howard or has information about the two unidentified men is asked to come forward.
