OXFORD, PA — On December 19, 2023, Aigner Veronica Sellars, an 18-year-old from Coatesville, surrendered herself to the police. The Oxford Police Department, assisted by Chester County Detectives, have been investigating a shooting incident that took place on March 23, 2023, in the 200 block of Maple Street.

Officer J. Williams and Detective J. Dibattista filed an affidavit of probable cause on December 8, 2023.

During this argument, Sellars allegedly threatened to return with others to shoot the victim(s).

At 9:40 PM, Sellars and the other female returned to the victim’s home. When an adult resident answered the door, they were confronted by Sellars and her associates.
