The US Marshals have been given the task of apprehending 18 year old Raphael Ezeamaka. The male is accused of firing multiple gunshots into a SEPTA bus that was on October 8 ,2024.
Police said that three women on the bus received gunshot wounds, but neither was critically hurt in the attack. Police said that Ezeamaka allegedly fired a handgun at the bus as he was standing outside of the Route G bus which was on the 700 block of S. 57th Street, dropping off passengers.
Police recovered a video of Ezeamaka as he is riding the bus with friends. He seems to all smiles and is laughing. The video also captures the shooting.
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 has a last known address on 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.
