A man used a sedan and a shovel to crush and beat a screaming woman to death, said Philadelphia Police.
Officers responded to reports of someone screaming along W Louden Street near N Franklin Street around 8:25 p.m. Saturday to find Joel Horton, 50, standing next to a 2012 Nissan Maxima, said investigators.
"The male repeatedly ran over the female with his vehicle and then retrieved a shovel from his trunk, and struck the female several times," said Philadelphia Police in a news release.
Doctors at Einstein Medical Center declared Adrienne Lindsay, 52, dead about an hour later.
On Tuesday, police announced murder charges against Horton.
Investigators didn’t reveal the relationship between Horton and Lindsay.
