Days after a woman forced her son to surrender for his role in the murder of Wiz Khalifa's 20-year-old uncle, new reports claim police are after at least one more suspect.
New reports claim Wiz’s uncle, Imani Porter, may have lost his life due to a drug deal gone wrong.
Police say 17-year-old Jaron Young, of Penn Hills, is charged as an adult with criminal homicide in the Wednesday night shooting of 20-year-old Imani Porter. Porter, of Pittsburgh, was parked in a Steak ‘n Shake parking lot in suburban Munhall when he was shot. He died at a hospital Thursday. Allegheny County homicide detectives believe Porter planned to sell heroin to Young and another still-unidentified suspect when he was, instead, shot in the head. Young denied involvement to reporters as he was taken into custody. (ABC News)
Details of the 17-year-old suspect surfaced online early Friday (January 10).

The suspect’s mother made sure to speak out following his arrest.
A mother forced her son to surrender Thursday for his suspected role in a fatal drug deal at The Waterfront, a popular shopping, dining and entertainment complex along the Monongahela River. “It was the right thing to do,” Ronnica Sanders, 41, said, hours after her son’s arrest. “I didn’t raise my kid to be in the street. I didn’t. I raised him to be a respectable young man in the community.” (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
