Baltimore Police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Penn North earlier this week.

A Western District officer was patrolling the 1200 block of West North Avenue on Sunday morning when he received reports that a man had been struck by a car, according to a news release. The man, identified as Philip Jones, 48, was suffering from multiple abrasions to the head and body, police said. Jones was taken to an area hospital, where he died Wednesday.

Michael Akiel Manigo, 31, of Baltimore, was arrested Sunday in the 2300 block of Annapolis Road in Westport after police located the disabled vehicle that they say struck Jones.

On Friday, police said detectives determined “following interviews with witnesses and a thorough investigation” that the incident was not accidental and is being investigated as a homicide.

After his arrest, Manigo was transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility and charged with attempted first-degree murder. Upgraded charges for Manigo are pending, police said Friday. Manigo did not yet have an attorney listed in online court records.

This marks the third homicide in the city this year — the first two were shootings. Baltimore again saw a notable decline in violence last year, with 133 killings in 2025, its lowest homicide total in at least 48 years.
