Manning and his stepson went to the Devon on Northgate apartment complex last Thursday to confront two teenagers who were friends of the stepson, the warrant says. The pair later encountered the teens again near Esters Road. According to the warrant, the teens began shooting at Manning and his stepson while they were in a vehicle. Manning returned fire but was shot in the head.

His stepson drove him to a nearby Family Dollar store to seek help. Manning died Saturday after being placed on life support.

Irving police arrested 17-year-old Zayne Ryder Townsend and a juvenile. Manning’s stepson identified both as suspects, according to the warrant. Townsend was initially charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon while Manning was still alive. As of Monday, it was unclear when or whether that charge would be upgraded following Manning’s death. The juvenile’s charges were not specified in the information available.

Manning’s uncle, Charles Ahmad Mosley, said his nephew should not have confronted the teenagers and that their parents should have been contacted instead. He also condemned the shooting and the presence of guns in the conflict. “It shouldn’t have been resolved by confronting them,” Mosley said.

Mosley, a convicted felon who said he left prison about 20 years ago, later founded Taqwa Ministries, a nonprofit focused on mentoring incarcerated people and supporting their transition back into the community. He said the loss is painful while also expressing concern about the teenagers’ futures. Townsend declined to speak with detectives, according to the warrant.
