In the early hours of June 28, 2026, 19-year-old Tyvon Amari Ash of Scranton was shot and killed in Archbald, Pennsylvania. Around 1 a.m., residents near Laurel Street Park heard gunfire and then a car crash. Police found a Mazda CX-30 that had struck a utility pole; Ash was inside with a gunshot wound and later died at a hospital. The Lackawanna County coroner attributed his death to a single gunshot wound.

Investigators say Ash had gone to Archbald to sell a quarter-pound of marijuana. Authorities allege the buyer used counterfeit money in a planned robbery: 20-year-old Kayden Christopher Jurbala reportedly exchanged six counterfeit $100 bills for the drugs, and when Ash tried to leave, Jurbala allegedly fired one shot through the open passenger window from a stolen 9mm Glock 43X, striking Ash in the back. Jurbala and a 16-year-old fled on foot, discarding the firearm, which matched a gun reported stolen from a vehicle in Blakely. Jurbala was charged with criminal homicide, robbery, and receiving stolen property; the 16-year-old faces juvenile charges.
