In the spring of 1992 Phoenix was shaken by a sudden outbreak of violence that began with the killing of a young Ethiopian immigrant. Tekleberhan Manna, reported as 24 and working a shift as a clerk at the Super Stop Market near his apartment, was shot once at close range through the right eye on March 15. The shooter fled without taking money or merchandise, so robbery did not appear to be the motive.

Investigators later linked Manna’s killing to a broader rampage that same day. The suspect, identified as Pete Rogovich, had earlier become enraged at his girlfriend and then went on to fatally shoot three more people at a nearby trailer park: 62-year-old Phyllis Mancuso, 48-year-old Rebecca Carreon, and 83-year-old Marie Pendergast. Rogovich was arrested, charged, convicted of the four murders and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have memories of that neighborhood in 1992 or information about Tekleberhan’s life in Phoenix?
