Police ID Woman Beaten To Death In North Philly
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A woman was found beaten to death yesterday afternoon and now police want to speak with her boyfriend.
Philadelphia police are investigating the death of 32-year-old Izesha Gateward.
She was found bleeding inside her 2nd floor apartment on 17th Street, near Cumberland Street in North Philly.
Officers arrived on scene Sunday afternoon around 5 p.m. and found Gateward bleeding from her head and body.
Investigators believe she was involved in an argument with her boyfriend, who they say beat her with a hammer.
Sources say the entire incident stems from an argument over money, less than a hundred dollars.
Originally police thought this may have been connected to a shooting at a Church's Chicken at Broad and Erie, but now authorities are backing away from that, and saying these two incidents are not connected.
No arrests have been made.
