Jared Lee Harpster, 35, of York Haven, Pennsylvania, was killed on Saturday, February 24, 2024, after a violent altercation on the 600 block of West College Avenue in York City. The confrontation began when Harpster went to a residence to help his niece, who was reportedly in a verbal dispute with her 17-year-old boyfriend, Andy Rico Ramos-Alicea Jr. A physical fight broke out involving Harpster, Ramos-Alicea Jr., and others.

A video reportedly shows Harpster crawling after being shot and then being stabbed multiple times by Ramos-Alicea Jr’s father, Andy Williams Ramos-Alicea Sr., 38. Harpster was taken to WellSpan York Hospital and pronounced dead at 1:09 p.m.; an autopsy determined the cause of death to be multiple gunshot wounds.

Both father and son were charged with criminal homicide. Ramos-Alicea Sr. was arrested the day of the incident and held without bail; Ramos-Alicea Jr. turned himself in on February 27 and faces additional charges including a felony count of false imprisonment and a misdemeanor for possession of a firearm by a minor. Preliminary hearings for both were scheduled for March 8, 2024.
