On Oct 12, at 3:15 am Karimah Bollard, 32, black female, was stabbed repeatedly inside her home on 1600 block of north 16th Street near Cecil B. Moore Avenue, while her five children slept.
Police took Bollard to Temple University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 4:28 am.
Police arrested Bollard's boyfriend, Solomon Carter, 28, black male, and charged him with murder and related offenses.
Police said Carter had had a "series of domestic aggravated assaults against women" and had been released from jail less than a week before the killing for an assault on another woman.
