YORK (AP) – Prosecutors will not seek the death penalty against a man accused of killing a man and wounding a woman when he opened fire inside a York County movie theater almost three years ago. 23-year-old Anu-Malik Johnson is charged with first and third-degree murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangering, and related offenses in the December 2019 shooting of 22-year-old Andre White Jr. at Regal Cinemas 13 in West Manchester Township. A judge two years ago declined to bar York County prosecutors from seeking capital punishment, but this week the district attorney’s office dropped plans to do so, citing a mitigation report from the defense and other considerations.
