Harrisburg, PA – Today, U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane announced
the arrest of Kent Shand – a 27-year old Lebanon man.
On March
11, 2021, the New York Police Department investigated a fatal shooting
in the 1900 block of Avenue M in Brooklyn. As a result of their
investigations, detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Kent with
Murder in the 2nd Degree and lesser included offenses. Attempts to find
him in New York were unsuccessful and the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS)
Fugitive Task Force was asked to apprehend him.
This morning at
about 6 a.m., the fugitive investigation led officers to the 100 block
of West Market Street in York, Pennsylvania where Shand was arrested
without incident. He was turned over to the York County Sheriff’s
Central Booking Unit for arraignment and processing.
United
States Marshal Pane stated, “It’s the Marshals Services’ duty to ensure
that those charged with violent crimes have their day in court. It is my
sincere hope that the victim’s family will find some measure of comfort
knowing the suspect will face justice.”
The USMS Fugitive Task
Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania is comprised of 21 state,
county and local police agencies; including the York City Police
Department, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Board of
Probation and Parole, the York County Sheriff’s Office, the York County
District Attorney’s Office, the Northern York County Regional Police
Department and the Spring Garden Township Police Department – all of
whom participated in this arrest. .
