Arrest made after woman beat to death with brick in North Philadelphia: Police

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A person has been arrested in connection with the brutal beating death of a woman in North Philadelphia, according to police.

The video featured is from a previous report.

Police confirmed the arrest to Action News on Thursday. This comes one day after officials released a photo of a man they wanted to question in the investigation.

It is not known if the person arrested is the man from the photos.

Police say two men beat 45-year-old Keisha Farlow to death in an alleyway on North 24th Street around 2 a.m. Sunday.

Surveillance video obtained as part of the investigation shows a man throwing Farlow to the ground in the alley.

It reveals how the attacker repeatedly struck the mother of four in the head with a brick, before stomping on her face and chest.

After the assault, investigators said the suspects left the scene with Farlow's purse. The purse was later recovered a few blocks away, emptied of its contents.

Anyone with information can call or text Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip online.
