News Summary
York City witnesses renewed legal proceedings as three men are charged in the shooting death of 17-year-old Juan Rosario. The suspects, originally juveniles at the time of the incident, face various homicide charges after an investigation gained traction through new evidence. None have undergone arraignment for this case but are already incarcerated for unrelated charges. The case highlights ongoing community concerns surrounding youth violence and crime.
York City has seen renewed legal action in a tragic case from 2020, as three men have been charged in connection with the shooting death of 17-year-old Juan Rosario. The suspects, now aged 22, are Furman Dennis III, Shymere DeShields, and Zenen M. Fellove, all of whom were juveniles at the time of the incident that took place on July 4, 2020. The charges against them were filed on a recent Monday.
In terms of specifics, DeShields and Fellove are facing serious legal ramifications, including charges of criminal homicide, conspiracy to commit homicide, and firearms-related offenses. Dennis faces a more limited charge of conspiracy to commit homicide. These developments arise from a shooting incident that occurred at approximately 12:22 a.m. in the 400 block of South Duke Street.
In the aftermath of the shooting, authorities found Rosario suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was quickly transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:06 a.m., just under an hour after the attack. It took nearly a year for the investigation to gain traction, which had stalled significantly throughout 2021.
The case made a turn for the better last year when police obtained new information that catalyzed further interviews and search warrants. This renewed evidence provided the necessary details for authorities to charge the three individuals this week.
Currently, none of the suspects have undergone the preliminary arraignment and booking process for this specific case, but they are all incarcerated at York County Prison due to separate unrelated charges. Dennis is involved in a different case from July 2022 that includes first-degree murder and conspiracy allegations connected to an ambush shooting. Fellove faces charges of aggravated assault from a case filed in July 2024. Lastly, DeShields is currently serving a sentence for firearms and drug possession and was transferred from a state prison to York County Jail in August 2023.
This recent update in the Rosario case highlights ongoing violence and the youth involved in criminal activities within the community. The investigation leading to today’s charges underscores the importance of renewed efforts to seek justice for those affected by violent crime.
