On the evening of May 30, 2023, a shooting in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, killed three people, including 9-year-old Sebastian Perez-Salome. Sebastian and his 8-year-old brother Jesus were playing with kittens in their backyard when gunfire erupted; Jesus was pronounced dead at the scene and Sebastian died shortly after being taken to a hospital. A 19-year-old resident of the same household, Joshua Lugo-Perez, was also killed. A 33-year-old neighbor, Luis Cancel, was wounded by a stray bullet and survived after surgery.

Investigators say the shooters targeted Lugo-Perez over a prior argument and that the two boys were tragically caught in the crossfire. Police arrested 22-year-old Alex Torres-Santos and 16-year-old James Fernandez-Reyes on May 31, 2023, on multiple counts including criminal homicide; both were held without bail. A third suspect, 27-year-old Ivan Claudio Rosero, was taken into custody on June 6, 2023, and his girlfriend, 34-year-old Tiffany Koziara, was charged with hindering apprehension. The district attorney announced intentions to seek the death penalty against Torres-Santos and Rosero.

Did anyone in Lebanon know Sebastian and his family or have information about the events that night?
