Police have made an arrest in the fatal stabbing of a woman whose body was discovered Sunday afternoon inside a West Philadelphia home.
James Street Jr., 43, was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with murder in the stabbing death of 46-year-old Tyhesia Street.
It was Sunday afternoon when police say they performed a wellness check at a home on the 5500 block of West Girard Avenue in the city's Haddington neighborhood. A family member told officers Tyhesia hadn't been seen for several weeks.
Once inside, police say they found her in a second-floor bedroom with multiple stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators say the motive for her killing was domestic in nature.
