Ruby Mercado, 27, was shot to death on August 29, 2015, while sitting in her minivan on North Hartley Street in York, Pennsylvania. She was found dead inside the vehicle, which was parked askew with the engine running and lights on. Mercado was a mother of two and about to start a new job.

Kameron Orr, 26 at the time, was arrested shortly after the shooting. Prosecutors said he texted Mercado that night to come outside to talk. Physical evidence introduced at trial included Orr’s cellphone found in Mercado’s vehicle, a .357 Magnum revolver recovered from his backpack and later identified as the murder weapon, gunpowder residue inside the minivan, and Mercado’s DNA on the gun. Mercado’s family said she had been trying to obtain a protection from abuse order against Orr days before her death.

Orr was convicted of first-degree murder in July 2017 and sentenced to life in prison without parole; he maintained his innocence throughout. Mercado’s family described her as caring and said her death devastated them. Does anyone have information about Ruby’s last day or about the events on North Hartley Street that night?
