Second Suspect Arrested in West Philadelphia Killing of Imani Ringgold

The arrest advances a multiagency hunt for more suspects.

Overview

  • Zaire Manning, 21, was taken into custody Tuesday in Germantown by the Homicide Fugitive Squad and U.S. Marshals in the April 7 shooting that killed Imani Ringgold.
  • Police said Manning will be charged with murdering Ringgold and with wounding a man and a woman in the same attack.
  • Investigators last week arrested Hamza Ruley, 24, and they are still searching for Mustafa King, 26, while detectives work to identify a possible fourth participant.
  • Detectives said three gunmen jumped from a car and fired dozens of rounds near 60th and Market Streets, striking Ringgold, 20, as she walked with a pizza and spoke to her grandmother, and they recovered 27 shell casings.
  • Police believe the ambush was likely retaliation tied to a recent quintuple shooting, and they are asking for tips as a $20,000 reward is offered for help finding the remaining suspects.
