YORK, Pa. — A York man accused of shooting and killing Selvin McEwan Jr. last October was arrested Monday by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.
Christian Galarza-Rodriguez, 37, is charged with criminal homicide in connection to McEwan's death on Oct. 3, 2021, according to U.S. Marshal Martin J. Pane.
McEwan was found suffering from a gunshot wound by responding officers on the 200 block of East Poplar Street in York that evening, Pane said.
McEwan later died of his injuries.
As a result of their investigation, detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Galarza-Rodriguez with criminal homicide. Attempts to find him were unsuccessful, and the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force was asked to apprehend him.
At 11:30 a.m. on Monday, members of the Task Force arrested Galarza-Rodriguez without incident on the 300 block of East Cottage Place in York, Pane said.
He was turned over to the York County Sheriff’s Office Central Booking Unit for processing and arraignment.
“It’s the Marshals Services’ duty to ensure that those charged with violent crimes have their day in court," Pane said in a press release. "It is my sincere hope that members of the affected communities will find some measure of comfort knowing this suspect will face justice.”
The USMS Fugitive Task Force in the Middle District of Pennsylvania is comprised of 22 state, county and local police agencies – including the York City Police Department, the York County District Attorney’s Office, the York County Sheriff’s Office, the Northern York County Regional Police Department, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, and the Spring Garden Township Police Department – all of whom participated in this investigation.
