A mother mourning the loss of her daughter knows her daughter lived a troubled life. But says that's no excuse for what happened to her almost six years ago.
Carol Smail says she is adamant about finding her daughter's killer and bringing that person to justice."She was, I guess, trafficked if you would say out there," said Smail."Someone suggested that she be in a rap video as a dancer.""Unfortunately, she became addicted to heroin," she said."She apparently became a prostitute or a sex worker in order to supply her drug habit.
On the night of Saturday, July 16, 2016, the 35-year-old was on the 1900 block of East Cumberland Street in Philadelphia's West Kensington section."She was hit in the head with a brick, and her throat was slashed," Smail said."She ran for about a block and a half before she died." Police found Morgan along the 2400 block of Jasper Street. She was naked and had multiple slash wounds.
Police believe the man seen in a surveillance photo may be responsible for Morgan's attack and several others around the same time."Please, if you know anything come forward," Smail said. The City of Philadelphia is offering up to a $20,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.All calls will remain anonymous.
