Detective Sergeant Cody Michael Becker, 39, was killed in the line of duty on September 17, 2025, during a deadly ambush in North Codorus Township, Pennsylvania. Becker was a 2008 graduate of Millersville University and had served 16 years with the Northern York County Regional Police Department, rising to Detective Sergeant. His career included a 2010 rescue in which he caught a mother and her three children escaping from a second-story window of a burning building.

Becker and two fellow detectives, Mark Baker and Isaiah Emenheiser, were part of a team serving a warrant in a stalking investigation at a property where 24-year-old Matthew James Ruth was suspected of stalking his ex-girlfriend. As officers approached an unlocked front door, the suspect opened fire with an AR-style rifle, killing the three detectives. Two other officers returned fire, killing the suspect; one surviving officer was wounded. Authorities say the suspect had intended to harm his ex-girlfriend and her mother, who had left the home for safety.
