Man sought by police after woman beaten to death with bricks in North Philly
Police have shared images of a man who investigators hoping to talk to following a woman’s beating death in a North Philadelphia alleyway over the past weekend.
On Wednesday, police released surveillance images of a man who, officials said, investigators hope to question following the death of 45-year-old Keisha Farlow, who was killed in an incident that happened on Sunday, June 7, 2026.
Initially, police said Farlow was found with severe lacerations on her face just after 6 a.m. Sunday in “the rear alley of N. Opal Street,” and was pronounced dead at 6:14 a.m.
However, in an update released Wednesday, police said, Farlow was determined to have died as a result of blunt force trauma in an incident that, officials now say, happened at about 1:59 a.m. along the 2600 block of North 24th Street on Sunday.
Also at the scene, officers found two bloodied bricks, which investigators believe were used in the attack, officials have said.
NBC10 is working to learn more.
