Rap Video Sparks Manhunt for Crash Suspect | Pittsburgh News

Manor Township police are hunting three suspects linked to a fatal crash that killed 20-year-old Saige Zink, sending two cars into the Susquehanna River. Mikaail Cotton faces multiple charges including leaving the scene of death, driving with a suspended license, and failing to render aid — and authorities believe he was driving the vehicle carrying Zink. A viral social media video shows a man rapping in a parked car, which police are now analyzing as part of their investigation, though they haven’t confirmed its authenticity. The case echoes past legal precedents where rap lyrics have been used as evidence — including a Nevada homicide case and a 2019 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling upholding a rapper’s conviction, citing First Amendment limitations on song lyrics. Cotton, described in court docs as having a money sign tattoo, matches a man in the video who has two neck tattoos — one matching Cotton’s. He remains at large, with Crime Stoppers offering a reward for tips. Police also seek Helmer Soto-Colon and Savahnnah McFerrin, two others seen fleeing the scene. The investigation continues as authorities strive to uncover the full story behind that deadly night. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
