approximately 10 a.m., Philadelphia Police responded to defendant’s residence following a 911 call. They found the defendant sitting on the couch, wearing bloody clothing. A white Jeep Patriot was parked on the street in front of the residence. “A young woman with her whole life ahead of her, just graduated from high school, was brutally stabbed to death,” said Steele. “This murder is a tragedy for her family, her friends and everyone who loved her.
