20-year-old Philadelphia man charged in Oct. killing outside Upper Darby mosque

Law enforcement officials in Delaware County have announced an arrest in the October slaying of a 65-year-old man in the parking lot of a mosque in Upper Darby.

On Wednesday, Jack Stollsteimer, the district attorney of Delaware County, announced the arrest of Herman Stigall, 20, of Philadelphia, in connection to the death of Mohammad Rahman, 65, who was shot and killed during a carjacking outside of the Masjid Al-Madinah Islamic Center along 69th Street on Sunday, Oct. 29.

"We are bringing Mr. Stigall to justice for the bloodthirsty murder of Mr. Rahman in front of the mosque on 69th Street, back in October," said Stollsteimer.

The initial incident happened, officials said, at around 7:45 p.m. that day, when Rahman was shot during a carjacking in the parking lot of the mosque.

Rahman's vehicle -- a white Toyota Rav 4 -- was later found along the 800 block of Cecil Street in Philadelphia, officials said.

After recovering the vehicle, police found Rahman's cell phone in a nearby storm drain, officials said.

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt said that further investigation connected Stigall to a robbery that happened at the King of Prussia Mall on Oct. 30.

After obtaining an arrest warrant for Stigall for that incident, Bernhardt said that officers tracked down a vehicle that he was believed to be operating and he was arrested after crashing the car on I-76.

When he was apprehended, Bernhardt claimed that Stigall was in possession of a handgun that police believe was used to kill Rahman.

Stigall has been charged with murder, robbery, firearms offenses among other crimes.

Law enforcement officials announced charges in this incident at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. They also announced charges in the unrelated murder of 15-year-old Michael Garr that occurred in Drexel Hill in April of last year.
