Imani Ringgold was 20 and on a break from a new job as a home health aide when she was killed on the 5900 block of Market Street in West Philadelphia on the evening of April 7, 2026. She had just bought a slice of pizza and was speaking with her grandmother when gunfire erupted around 6:20 p.m.; the call went silent as the shooting continued. Investigators say she was not the intended target and was struck multiple times; one of the assailants reportedly stood over her and fired again at point-blank range. Two other people, a 24-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman, were wounded and survived. Ringgold was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Police identified two of four suspects and sought the public’s help. Arrest warrants for murder were issued for 26-year-old Mustafa King and 21-year-old Zaire Manning; two other suspects remain unidentified and the dark-colored Mazda used in the attack was found abandoned. No arrests have been made and a reward has been offered for information leading to arrest and conviction. If anyone saw the shooting or recognizes the suspects or vehicle, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
