Two teenagers are in custody tonight after
police identified them as suspects in the
fatal shooting of a 40-year-old man.
Investigators say and as Manning confronted
the teens after suspecting they'd stolen a
gun from his home, that confrontation quickly escalated
into a deadly shootout.
Fox 4's David Centendri spoke
with Manning's family live with the latest.
David.
Yeah, this was reportedly all over a stolen gun.
A 40-year-old man shot and killed two teens.
We know one of them by name now who's been charged.
the other one a juvenile.
He actually went and confronted them about it. 40-year-old Andres
Manning shot and killed after reportedly confronting two
of his stepson's friends
about a gun stolen from their home. Put the guns down, man.
Last Thursday, Manning and his stepson
went to the Devon on Northgate apartments
to confront the two teenagers, according to an
arrest warrant. Later,
a second confrontation happened nearby off Esther's Road. That's when
the two teens allegedly began shooting at Manning
and his stepson who were in their vehicle.
Manning returned fire, but he was shot in the head.
His stepson drove him to a nearby family
dollar to call for help. It shouldn't be resolved by confronting them.
Manning's uncle, Charles Ahmad
Mosley, says his nephew should not have confronted
the teens about the stolen gun. He believes their
parents should have been called.
Still, he obviously condemns the shooting and says the
suspects have no business being around guns.
Why gangsters carry a gun? Because they out there in
the streets, they out there doing crime, man.
That's why they got a gun. Gangster, you want
to be a gangster. That's why they got it.
Irving police arrested 17-year-old Zane Ryder Townsend
and a juvenile, both identified by the stepson,
according to an arrest warrant. Townsend was
initially charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
because the victim was on life
support. Manning, however, died Saturday,
but it's unclear when charges will likely be upgraded to
murder. But I say, man, I forgive y'all.
Mosley, while hurting for his nephew, also hurts for the
suspects. Mosley is a convicted felon
who got out of prison 20 years ago, later starting Takwa
Ministries, a nonprofit geared toward mentoring prison inmates
and setting them up for success
on the outside. So it's all about giving people a second chance.
Yes. Reintegrating into society.
Yes. Now the shooting too close to home,
his nephew gone and two teens face possible incarceration.
Back in the day when we were growing up, we had a fist fight.
And Townsend declined to interview
with detectives according to an arrest warrant.
Steve, Heather. All right, Davidson Tendry, thank you.
