On February 26, 2017, 19-year-old Daniel Eugenio Sanchez was shot multiple times in the 100 block of Dauphin Street in Lancaster, PA. He succumbed to his injuries two days later at Lancaster General Hospital. The Lancaster County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.
The suspect in the case, 20-year-old Jose Gabriel Duque, was identified by the Lancaster City Police the day after the shooting. Duque, described as a Hispanic male, 6'1" tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair, was charged with Attempted Criminal Homicide and other charges. However, he remains at large. The charges were later amended to Criminal Homicide and Firearms Not To Be Carried Without a License after consulting with the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office.
Despite ongoing efforts, Duque has not been apprehended, and the investigation remains open. Authorities continue to urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward. The case highlights the challenges law enforcement faces in solving violent crimes and bringing perpetrators to justice.
