Homicide: Man found dead in Lower Chanceford Twp. intentionally shot, coroner says

UPDATE: Police have arrested a man in the case and charged him with criminal homicide.

Investigators are trying to determine what happened to a Lancaster County man found shot to death on a rural road in southern York County on Monday.

Tuesday's autopsy on the man — found in Lower Chanceford Township — determined his death was a homicide, according to York County Coroner Pam Gay.

It revealed that Aaron Wollman, 25, of Denver, died of multiple gunshot wounds.

"We could see the gunshot wounds, and we knew he didn't do them to himself, so that's suspicious," Gay said. "It was apparent that it was inflicted by another person — a homicide."

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating.

At about 7 a.m. Monday, state police and emergency responders were sent to the intersection of Bare and Furnace roads for a report of a man lying in the road, according to a police news release.

At the intersection, there is farmland — including cows grazing in fields and other plots tilled for crops — in all directions. Nearby landmarks include the Susquehanna River, Indian Steps Museum and Otter Creek Campground.

Initial reports indicated the man was suffering from a cardiac arrest.

"It just means his heart stopped; it doesn't mean a heart attack," Gay said Tuesday.

When first responders arrived at the location, they found the man dead, and saw he was shot several times.

They then called in the department's Troop J Major Case Team to investigate and the York County Coroner's Office. The office pronounced Wollman dead at 8:05 a.m.

"At this time, Troop J Major Case Team are working multiple counties investigating this death," the release states.

Numerous questions about the case remain unanswered, including how and why Wollman died and what he was doing in Lower Chanceford Township.

Gilbert Malone, who rents land in the area to a local farmer, said he signed a release for state police to enter his property for the investigation.

"I hope they can find out who did it and why," he said.
