Kyle J. Brown

How they died

Suicide

Officers were investigating a missing person case when they located Kyle J. Brown, 21, and Jeffrey Whaley, 19, in a York apartment. With them was a missing 15-year-old girl from Mechanicsburg. Corp. Thomas A. Speck of Hampden Township Police Department and Officer Jason D. Greco of the Northern York County Regional Police entered the apartment at JJJ Julia's Motel, police said. Brown struggled with officers inside the apartment before breaking free and fleeing across a parking lot. The officers were chasing Brown on foot when he turned and fired a handgun at them, striking Speck in the chest and arm. Neither officer returned fire, and Brown fired a third shot into his own head, killing himself.
