Thompson was wanted on an arrest warrant for the shooting of Dwayne Muhammad on May 4 outside Muhammad’s mosque on South Avenue. Muhammad was selling the Final Call newspaper when he was shot multiple times.
A man fled the scene and entered an abandoned apartment building, sparking a SWAT standoff. But when officers entered the building, it was empty.
Thompson is in the Allegheny County Jail awaiting arraignment.
