A dispute inside a Providence Township home on the night of Monday, November 27, 2023, ended in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Aidan Kimmet. According to a witness account, Kimmet entered a bedroom on the 60 block of Main Street where 24-year-old Bryan Charles Hollister was present. The witness said Hollister stepped back, produced a 9 millimeter pistol and shot the unarmed Kimmet; after Kimmet fell, two more shots struck him in the torso and head. Kimmet was taken to Lancaster General Hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Bryan Hollister was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police and charged with first-degree murder, assault, possession of an instrument of a crime, and recklessly endangering another person. Bail was denied and Hollister was committed to Lancaster County Prison. At a preliminary hearing a witness described the shooting and a judge later ruled Hollister should face all charges in Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. Investigators noted inconsistencies in Hollister’s statements after the incident.

If anyone saw or heard anything on Main Street that night, or has information about the people involved, please come forward.
