Police Hunt Suspect After Glenolden Walmart Shooting

An active armed search raises public safety concerns for shoppers and neighbors.

Overview

  • A dispute between two customers at the Glenolden Walmart escalated into gunfire on Friday, July 31, when one man fired between five and ten shots near the self‑checkout area.
  • A female Walmart employee was struck in the calf, taken to the hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries and released the same night.
  • Darby Township Police identified the suspect as Armani Tyrell Waite and say he faces attempted murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and weapons charges.
  • Authorities have a warrant for Waite, issued a wanted poster and conducted an early‑morning search at a Gramercy Drive address that did not locate him as the manhunt continues.
  • Police warn Waite should be considered armed and dangerous and ask the public to call 911 rather than approach him; Waite’s family says he plans to turn himself in and Walmart is cooperating with investigators.
