WEST PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) --
Philadelphia police have released the name of the man they say sexually assaulted, beat and strangled a recent Drexel University graduate inside her West Philadelphia apartment.
56-year-old James Harris of West Philadelphia is now facing murder, rape, robbery, burglary and related charges.
Police say fingerprints and DNA evidence connected Harris to the crime.
The body of 27-year-old Jasmine Wright was found last Thursday in the rear bedroom of her third floor apartment in the 200 block of South 50th Street....
Harris has been held for days on burglary charges. Police say he is a career criminal who had been hired to do maintenance work in her West Philadelphia building.
Police say they later learned that when Wright arrived home she was on her cell phone talking to her mother, and it was then that Harris attacked her. Wright's mother told police she heard a struggle before the phone went dead.
Investigators believe Wright was beaten and strangled next to the bed, but she was placed on the bed after the attack.
As for a motive, police say that remains unclear. At this point, Harris is not cooperating with investigators.
Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark described Harris' violent past by saying, "He's 56 years of age, he has 31 priors. Back in '82 he was arrested for killing his own father. He's been arrested several times for sexual assault, several robberies, several burglaries. I mean, he's a monster. We're very happy to get him off of the streets."
Wright graduated just four weeks ago from Drexel with a Masters in Environmental and Occupational health. She had a bright future mapped out.
Ok, people help me out here. WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS GUY NOT IN PRISON????
This happened 6 fucking blocks from my own apartment and at first the assumption was a boyfriend did it. The fact that this apartment complex didn't change the locks is beyond frightening and I swear I have seen this guy in the neighborhood before. What the actual FUCK?
Why didn't the mom call 911?
Motive? How about he's a rapist piece of fucking shit?
This poor girl, her future sure was bright. JUST graduated with a damn Master's??? That's not an easy task.
RIP Jasmine, I know this guy will not rest where he's going.
