18-year-old York City man sentenced to 45 years in prison for 2021 killing: DA
Alexis Cado-Suero, 18, of York City, guilty of first-degree murder for the shooting death of 16-year-old Tyree Smart in 2021, has been sentenced to 45 years to life in prison, according to the York County District Attorney's Office.
In January, a York County jury found Cado-Suero, who was 15 years old at the time of the murder, guilty of first-degree murder and guilty of possession of a firearm by a minor.
March 2021 shooting
On March 27, 2021, York City Police were dispatched to the 300 block of West Newton Avenue for a reported shooting.
Upon arrival, police found Smart lying with an apparent gunshot wound and discovered two 9mm casings near his body and eight casings at the northeast corner of Brooklyn and West Newton avenues.

Surveillance footage was later obtained, showing Smart walking with two other males across Brooklyn Avenue when they appear to be looking north and then running at the same time shots ring out.
One male ran south on Brooklyn Avenue and the other two ran east on West Newton Avenue.
Court documents stated that while on scene, police observed a crowd of people gathered. It was overheard that there was an Instagram live video regarding the homicide and that a person by the name of "Cado" had done it.
Police later interviewed four witnesses, each of whom witnessed the scene, following the shooting. Two days later, Smart's mother was interviewed by police and advised that she was told that Cado-Suero shot her son.
Police obtained a search warrant for the home and seized a cell phone, on which law enforcement then discovered a video of Cado-Suero holding a 9mm handgun, and a photo of him wearing the same clothes as the shooter.
One month later, the York County District Attorney’s Office took the rare step of asking a judge to seal the arrest warrant for 15-year-old Cado-Suero who was charged with criminal homicide.
