According to the police report, around 9. p.m on Sunday, officers responded to the area of Miller and Gooch streets on a shooting. When they arrived, they found Stevens fatally shot with several gunshot injuries and lying in the parking lot of the Sycamore Run Apartments.
In a statement released by the Lancaster Police Department Chief Scott Grant, over the two fatal weekend shootings, he said:
“It is no secret that the City of Lancaster has experienced a sudden increase in shootings over the past few weeks. This weekend was especially deadly, with two persons losing their lives to needless violence. While there is nothing that indicates these two latest incidents are related, we will continue to investigate all possible leads and do everything within our power to bring those responsible to justice.”
“However, we are only one part of this equation. Our department partners with the public to solve cases. Our success is always greatly enhanced when the public arms us with the knowledge necessary to effectively investigate matters such as these. As a city, we are all in this together.”
“It is my most sincere hope that anyone with any knowledge or insight into either of these incidents will come forward. You can always remain anonymous if you choose, but your input might make all the difference for one of these victims and their families.”
Investigation is still ongoing by Lancaster Police Department.
