Law enforcement officials are searching for two men, one wanted in connection with a deadly mass shooting in West Philadelphia and the other in connection with the rape of an 8-year-old boy at a Wilmington YMCA.
WILMINGTON, Del. - The FBI is now joining the search for a suspect they say is wanted for his alleged role in the rape of an 8-year-old victim nearly two months ago.
Nehemiah Billie J'Len Garcia is accused of luring the young victim into the showers at the YMCA Handby Outdoor Center located in Wilmington on June 13.
The victim was then held against her will and raped, according to officials.
Surveillance footage captured Garcia entering the building that night, prompting a search by local police.

He reportedly has ties to both Philadelphia and Cape Coral, Florida.
FBI Philadelphia is offering a $5,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest.
