Burglary and Assault Case Leads to Multiple Felony Charges for Three Individuals After Violent Home Invasion in Columbia

COLUMBIA, PA — Three individuals are facing a combined list of felony charges following a violent home invasion reported on March 15, 2026, at an apartment on the 100 block of North Fourth Street in Columbia Borough, according to police criminal complaints and sworn affidavits filed by the Columbia Borough Police Department.

Incident Summary

Police were dispatched at approximately 10:40 p.m. after a report that multiple armed suspects forcibly entered an occupied apartment. Responding officers observed a damaged rear door and blood on the sidewalk and steps leading into the residence. Inside, officers located the victim, suffering from lacerations to his hands, head, and face, injuries which required emergency medical treatment.

According to statements documented in the affidavits, three individuals—identified as Henry Reyes, Aliyah Mara Stoppi, and Camden Matthews Ransing—entered the home along with a younger unidentified male. Witnesses reported that firearms were displayed during the intrusion and that the victim was struck multiple times in the head and face with small chrome‑colored handguns.

Details of the Attack

A witness, who was present in the apartment, told police that the group forced their way into a second‑floor bedroom where she and the victim were located. The victim reportedly armed himself with a katana‑style sword in an attempt to defend himself, leading to a violent struggle. Witness statements included allegations that Reyes directed the attackers using phrases such as “keep f***ing him up, knock him out.”

A blue Ford F‑150 truck connected to the suspects was seen fleeing the area shortly after the assault. Officers later located the vehicle in Mountville, registered to Reyes. Additional evidence, including firearms believed to have been discarded from the truck, was recovered in Wrightsville and Columbia. Video surveillance reviewed by investigators appeared to show the vehicle parking near the area where one weapon was later found.

Defendants and Charges

All three defendants were charged in connection with the same incident. Each case was filed through Magisterial District Judge Miles K. Bixler, under separate docket numbers but stemming from the same investigation.

Reyes faces felony charges including:

  • Burglary – Overnight Accommodations; Person Present

Reyes later contacted police, admitting he was at the residence but claiming he was there to retrieve property belonging to co-defendant Aliyah Stoppi.

Affidavits allege Stoppi was part of the group that entered the residence and remained involved in the assault inside the second‑floor bedroom.

Investigators reported that Ransing was seen assaulting the victim with handguns. Records also indicated he did not possess a legal firearms permit and was wanted on an active felony warrant out of Dauphin County.


Investigation Continues

The police investigation involved multiple agencies, including Columbia Borough Police, West Hempfield Township Police, and Hellam Township Police. Officers recovered two firearms believed to be used during the assault, each consistent with witness descriptions. Video, physical evidence, and witness statements were compiled into the probable cause affidavits submitted with the charges.

    1. You are 100% INCORRECT assuming he was the “mastermind” and I’m APPALLED by your incredibly slanderous and damaging accusations especially given that you’re a relative.

  1. In defense for Aaliyah she’s a very nice person she was living at that house renting a room. And then she was wasn’t there for a while the guy wanted rent money so she could get her stuff. She’s trying to find a stable place and she left her stuff there and the guy wanted 300 bucks to give it to her. She went to get her stuff she said she didn’t know what they were going to do I agree they should not have done that it’s always dire consequences. And there’s so many people and so many places with cameras they can follow you down the street. That was crazy for them boys to do that stuff. He is a very nice girl. She works every day when she can and when the hours are available she works. And one of her crazy boyfriend’s drug her to Florida and her parents paid money to have her come back up here she’s with another crazy boyfriend Camden. He threatened to fuck me up a couple times busting the door he went to jail because he was beating her up and the neighbor called the cops that’s when I went to jail.
