Suspect arrested in killing of visiting artist on Capitol Hill

[BubbaJack]

A man arrested in the stabbing death of an artist who was found tied up in her basement apartment on Capitol Hill did not know the victim, according to D.C. police, while court documents suggest she may have been targeted in a robbery.

The suspect, El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure, 28, was apprehended Monday on Hamlin Street in Brookland. Police described him as homeless and living in District shelters, although he had a Maryland driver’s license and appears to have family living in Laurel.

At the time of his arrest he was wanted on a charge of violating probation in a robbery conviction in Tennessee, and he has an extensive criminal record in Georgia with convictions for making a terrorist threat, assault and robbery.

Toure was charged in the District with first-degree murder while armed and theft in the death of Corrina Mehiel, 34, whose body was found the afternoon of March 21 in a back room of a rowhouse in the 600 block of 14th Street NE, near the H Street corridor. She lived in North Carolina but had been in the District for months as she worked on an exhibit at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design.

What about this nws article in particular did you feel was noteworthy, as opposed to any of the articles about any of the other 309 homicides in DC in the past 12 months? The one you didn't feel the need to post news articles about.
