On the evening of April 7, 2026, 20-year-old Imani Ringgold was killed in a burst of gunfire on the 5900 block of Market Street in West Philadelphia. Ringgold had recently started a job as a home health care worker and had just returned from grabbing pizza when she was struck. She was on the phone with her grandmother when the shots rang out and did not have a chance to scream. Investigators say the shooting was a targeted attack but that Ringgold was an innocent bystander, likely mistaken for someone in the intended group.

Three shooters reportedly exited a dark-colored Mazda and opened fire; a second vehicle is also believed to be connected to the suspects. A 55-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man were also injured. Ringgold was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where she died. Authorities are seeking four suspects. Two wanted for murder have been identified as 26-year-old Mustafa King and 21-year-old Zaire Manning; two others remain unidentified. A reward and an additional U.S. Marshals Service reward for information leading to Manning’s arrest have been announced.

Imani had recently learned she was accepted into community college to study HVAC. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the people involved that could help investigators?
