Aileem Tillison, a 34-year-old man from Lebanon, Pennsylvania, was found dead on Christmas Eve morning, December 24, 2014, by his ex-girlfriend at her home on the 400 block of North 2nd Street. Tillison had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and the coroner ruled his death a homicide. The ex-girlfriend, who had been out of town for several days, discovered his body upon returning home. She informed the police that she hadn't been in a relationship with Tillison for over a year, but there was an open arrest warrant issued for him after he allegedly tried to force his way into the same house on December 5, 2014.
Police have not released the name of the ex-girlfriend, and no arrests have been made in connection with Tillison's death. The investigation remains active and ongoing, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward. The case has drawn significant attention from the local community and law enforcement, as they continue to search for the killer.
In a related development, Crystal Shultz, a woman from Lebanon, pleaded guilty to helping a murder suspect flee the city. Shultz had been in relationships with both Tillison and the suspect, William Culbreath, who was wanted for the stabbing death of another man, Travis Farrell, in November 2014. Shultz arranged transportation for Culbreath to escape from Lebanon, and she was sentenced for her involvement in hindering apprehension.
The tragic death of Aileem Tillison and the subsequent legal proceedings involving Crystal Shultz have left a lasting impact on the community, highlighting the complexities and challenges faced by law enforcement in solving such cases.
