From the U.S. Marshals press releases:
Philadelphia, PA - The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Raphael Ezeamaka, 18.
On October 10th, a warrant for attempt to commit criminal homicide, aggravated assaut, and criminal conspiracy was issued by the Philadelphia Police Department for Ezeamaka’s role in a shooting that took place October 8th in the 700 block of S. 57th street. After a verbal dispute on the SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) Route G bus, Ezeamaka exited and fired multiple shots into the bus from the outside. 3 women were struck and transported to local hospitals where they were treated for non-life-threatening wounds. The Marshals Service Violent Crimes Fugitive Task is now assisting the Philadelphia Police in locating and apprehending Ezeamaka.
The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Ezeamaka’s arrest. The $5,000 reward will be processed immediately upon arrest and not upon conviction.
Ezeamaka stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs approximately 150 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. His last known address was in the 100 block of N. Fairview Avenue in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.
“Anyone who purposely shoots into a crowded bus full of innocent people demonstrates an absolute disregard for human life. Apprehending Raphael Ezeamaka is paramount to public safety,” said Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Clark.
Tips can be called into the U.S. Marshals Philadelphia Tipline at 1-866-865-TIPS (8477) or by using the USMS Tips App.

Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Ezeamaka is still at large as of today’s posting date (October 20th, 2024), since this is a major Marshals case and they’re usually good at updating. I’ll keep tabs just in case.
