Izayah Thomas-Reid, a 21-year-old resident of York, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot on the evening of February 19, 2025. Authorities responded about 7:21 p.m. to the 300 block of North Queen Street, where emergency crews including multiple police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances were on scene. Izayah was remembered by his family as a loving son, brother, and friend who enjoyed music and had played football and basketball in school.

Investigators identified two juvenile suspects and filed charges. Mu’ath Woodard, 16, and Mijiere Hillian, 17, were implicated in the shooting. Woodard sustained a gunshot wound to his leg during the incident and was later charged with criminal homicide, conspiracy to commit homicide, first-degree murder, and robbery resulting in serious bodily injury; he turned himself in on March 3, 2025, and is being held in York County Prison without bail. Woodard’s grandmother, Treva B. Rice, 60, was charged with hindering apprehension, endangering the welfare of children, and tampering with evidence and was released on $10,000 unsecured bail.

The community continues to mourn Izayah’s death while legal proceedings proceed. If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Izayah, please share what you know with investigators.
