Commonwealth v. Foster, J., Aplt.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the Superior Court's denial of the motion to suppress, holding that the totality of the circumstances—including two ShotSpotter alerts, the officer's rapid response, and the appellant's evasive conduct—provided reasonable suspicion to justify the investigative detention. The Court rejected the high‑crime‑area factor as unsupported by the record and clarified that the seizure occurred when the officer ordered the appellant to return to the street.
