Police Identify Suspect in Glenolden Walmart Shooting

Authorities say the man is wanted on attempted murder and related charges and should be treated as armed and dangerous while the search continues.

Overview

  • A dispute inside the Glenolden Walmart near the self-checkout led to a man firing between five and ten shots, one of which struck a female employee in the calf on Friday, July 31.
  • Darby Township Police have named Armani Tyrell Waite as the suspect and obtained an arrest warrant charging him with attempted murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and weapons offenses.
  • Police say Waite fled the scene before officers arrived and that the injured employee was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds and is expected to be OK.
  • Investigators reviewed Walmart security footage and nearby cameras and briefly questioned a man near a nearby ShopRite who was later cleared in the probe.
  • Officials are actively searching for Waite, urge anyone with information to call 911, and warn the public not to approach him because he should be considered armed and dangerous.
