In the late summer of 2015 York, Pennsylvania, experienced a surge of violence that included the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Andrew Jackson. On the evening of September 1, police responded to reports of gunfire on the 300 block of East Cottage Place and found Jackson in a hallway at 342 East Cottage Place with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. This was the city’s second homicide in four days.

Investigators focused on a suspect, and on September 23, 2015, an arrest warrant was issued for 23-year-old Cody Stiffler of York, who was charged with criminal homicide and described as armed and dangerous. Stiffler was later taken into custody; on October 3, 2016, he pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and, under a plea agreement, was sentenced to 15 to 40 years in prison for Jackson’s death.

Does anyone have information on Andrew Jackson, his life in York, or the events around East Cottage Place that evening?
