Authorities are urgently seeking the whereabouts of Vincent Marbley and Eddie Winphrie, both of whom are wanted by the Youngstown Police Department and the United States Marshals Service for serious charges, including murder and tampering with evidence. The search has intensified as investigators work to bring these suspects to justice and provide closure to the victim’s family.
Marbley and Winphrie are believed to be linked to the tragic murder of 24-year-old Reynaldo Hernandez, which occurred on October 17 in the 2300 block of Bott Street. The incident has left the community in shock and mourning, as they grapple with the loss of a young life cut short by senseless violence.
Vincent Marbley, 59, is described as a Black male, standing approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 145 pounds. Eddie Winphrie, 41, is also a Black male, with a height of about 5 feet 9 inches and a weight nearing 262 pounds. Authorities have released detailed descriptions and photos of the suspects to aid in their capture.
Both suspects are known to frequent the areas of Cleveland, Youngstown, and Columbus. Investigators believe they may be receiving assistance from acquaintances or relatives in these cities, which is complicating efforts to locate them. The public’s assistance is crucial in tracking down these individuals and ensuring they are held accountable for their actions.
In an ongoing investigation related to this case, Richard Lightner, 40, and Shawn Jones, 35, were arraigned on Friday for charges of tampering with evidence. Each has had their bond set at $150,000. Their involvement in the case has provided investigators with additional leads, but the search for Marbley and Winphrie remains a top priority.
Additionally, Andre Bailey has been charged with first-degree felony murder and third-degree felony tampering with evidence. All three individuals—Lightner, Jones, and Bailey—are scheduled for preliminary hearings on November 1. The legal proceedings are expected to shed more light on the events leading up to and following the murder of Reynaldo Hernandez.
Another suspect, Daniel Ramsey, 42, who is also charged with tampering with evidence, was arrested in New Castle, Pennsylvania. He is currently being held at the Lawrence County jail and has not yet been transported back to Youngstown. Ramsey’s cooperation could prove pivotal in the investigation, as authorities work to piece together the full scope of the crime and those involved.
The community has been urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings or information related to Vincent Marbley and Eddie Winphrie. If you have any information about their whereabouts, please contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED or submit a tip online. Tips can be submitted anonymously, and a substantial reward is available for information leading to their capture. Law enforcement agencies are hopeful that the public’s assistance will lead to a swift resolution of the case.
In response to the ongoing search, local authorities have increased patrols and surveillance in areas where Marbley and Winphrie are known to frequent. Community leaders are also working to raise awareness about the case, distributing flyers and utilizing social media to disseminate information.
The tragic murder of Reynaldo Hernandez has sparked discussions about the need for stronger community-police partnerships and improved resources for crime prevention. The Youngstown Police Department has reiterated its commitment to ensuring justice for the victim and his family, emphasizing that no effort will be spared in apprehending the suspects.
As the investigation continues, the public’s cooperation and support are essential in bringing those responsible to justice and preventing further violence. The community’s collective efforts can make a significant difference in the pursuit of justice and safety for all residents.
