On the night of September 25, 2014, 23-year-old Brett Simmons was shot and killed during a home invasion at his family’s Clearview Road residence in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The attack occurred at about 11:00 PM when two masked males forced their way into the Simmons home. Brett’s father, James Simmons, was also shot but survived.

Witness descriptions put both suspects at about 5 feet 9 inches with average to medium builds; one was described as having blonde hair and dark eyes. Investigators have linked the motive to a party held at the house the week before that reportedly involved drugs and alcohol. Brett, a recent Harrisburg Area Community College graduate with a degree in physical education, was said to have sold small amounts of marijuana and occasionally drank beer. His father described him as an amazing person with a bright future.

The case has not been solved and the killers remain at large. Lancaster City/County Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The family moved from the home after the shooting, and the investigation has largely gone cold while the family continues to appeal for tips. Does anyone have information about the two men seen that night or about the party held the week before?
