Darby Township police are actively searching for 21-year-old Armani Tyrell Waite, who is wanted for attempted murder following a shooting incident at a Walmart located on North MacDade Boulevard. The incident occurred on Friday, July 31, 2026, during what investigators describe as a dispute between Waite and another male customer inside the store. According to police reports, Waite produced a firearm and began firing, striking a female Walmart employee in the calf. The victim was transported to a local hospital and is expected to recover; her identity has not been released. Sources indicate that both individuals involved in the altercation were armed, and Waite discarded his weapon at the scene before fleeing. Investigators have been conducting a manhunt for the suspect since the shooting. On Sunday morning, officers executed a search warrant at a residence on the 5200 block of Gramercy Drive in Upper Darby Township, where Waite was believed to be hiding. While neighbors on Gramercy Drive expressed shock and fear regarding the police activity, they stated they did not know Waite personally. Waite’s family arrived at the home on Sunday afternoon, with his mother informing media outlets that her son is currently working with an attorney to arrange his surrender to police. Despite this statement, authorities continue to classify Waite as at-large and are urging the public to remain vigilant. The Delaware County community has expressed concern over the violence, with local residents voicing fears for their safety in public spaces. Police have not yet confirmed if Waite has turned himself in, and the investigation remains ongoing as authorities seek to locate and arrest the suspect.
