On July 15, 2024, at about 12:31 a.m., Philadelphia police found 67-year-old Omar Gaitan inside his Honda CRV on the 500 block of West Ruscomb Street in Olney, suffering from a gunshot wound to the face. He was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center and pronounced dead at 1:08 a.m.

Investigators named 53-year-old Leiber Manrique as the primary suspect, saying he allegedly approached Gaitan’s vehicle and fired the fatal shot. A weapon was recovered at the scene; authorities described Manrique as armed and dangerous. The motive has not been disclosed. A $20,000 reward was offered for information leading to Manrique’s arrest, and law enforcement urged the public to report tips to the Homicide Unit. As of December 24, 2024, Manrique had not been reported apprehended and the case remained open.

Does anyone in the Olney area have information about that night or about Leiber Manrique’s whereabouts?
