Alleged Blumberg Gang Hitman Arrested in Delaware County in Three Philadelphia Murders

An anonymous tip spurred by a $5,000 reward led marshals to a Lansdowne apartment, officials said.

Overview

  • U.S. Marshals arrested Tyvine “Blumberg Eerd” Jones, 25, on Wednesday at the Stratford Court complex in Lansdowne and transferred him to Philadelphia police homicide for processing.
  • Jones is charged in three Philadelphia killings from August 2020, May 2022, and September 2022, with victims identified as Heyward Garrison, 16, Wesley Rodwell, 20, and Ryan Findley, 23.
  • Authorities describe Jones as an alleged member and hitman for the North Philadelphia Blumberg gang, which investigators link to drug trafficking, assaults, and shootings.
  • Officials say the fugitive task force acted on a tip following an October reward offer, and Jones was taken into custody without incident.
  • Prosecutors and marshals publicly condemned Jones, citing his alleged role in gang violence and noting prior ties to associates, including the late Antony “Blumberg Steez” Watson.
