Police Arrest 24-Year-Old in West Philadelphia Killing of Bystander Imani Ringgold

Police link the killing to a gang feud, with two suspects still at large.

Overview

  • Hamza Ruley, arrested Thursday at his home in Lansdowne, faces a murder charge in the April 7 killing of Imani Ringgold.
  • Two identified suspects — Mustafa King, 26, and Zaire Manning, 21 — remain fugitives as detectives work to identify any other shooters.
  • Police say three gunmen jumped from a car at 60th and Market and opened fire, and one shooter stood over Ringgold and fired again after she fell.
  • Investigators recovered 27 shell casings at the scene, and a man and a woman were also wounded.
  • The case comes as Philadelphia reports fewer homicides this year, yet police say targeted group feuds continue to put bystanders at risk.
