WASHINGTON — Authorities say they’ve charged a man with murder in the death of a North Carolina artist temporarily living in Washington while helping with an exhibit at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design.

Police in Washington said in a statement Tuesday that they’ve charged 28-year-old El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure of no fixed address with first-degree murder while armed and theft in the death of 34-year-old Corrina Mehiel of Burnsville, North Carolina.

El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure ....perps name. Wonder where he is from?

The left off Tater Salad from his name.

Way more to this story. Read up on the victim. Please don’t construe that as, “she had it coming.” Just saying this is one if those twists in life that just make me shake my head.

“El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure”

As stated above, hmmmm, there’s something about that name.

Naaaaaah, I must be Islamophobic.

The dead chick wrote: "Hillary Rodham Clinton was a part of that narrative. My Mom required me to read “It takes a Village” so that I could discuss it with her when I was in high school as to understand the relationship between community and education. As the public education system was changing, she wanted me to have a picture of her much smaller school and how her neighbors and friend’s parents played a role in the woman she became."

Momsie should have had her read up on Hillary's views about superpredators, and how a State Police or Secret Service protection detail irons out those little rabid animal wrinkles in life...

Published a couple hours a go at least.

Odd that there are no comments at the WaPo site.

The way all the stories beat around the bush, it’s hard to avoid the presumption that she picked up some random homeless man for sex and got more than she bargained for.

Lone wolf? Typical mooslum???

>>Naaaaaah, I must be Islamophobic<<

The name “Alpha” raises that in me as well.

“Alpha?” WTH?

[BenLurkin]

My guess?

Psychopath. He ambushed her, or she made the mistake of dropping her guard.

El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure ...

The name sounds like a French Muslim from one of the former French colonies. Algeria? Morocco? Chad? ...but definitely Muslim.

I am sure there is no connection, though.

El Hadji Alpha Madiou Toure ...

To me this name looks made up, like something an ill-educated American-born person would pick ... to try to sound cool.

I could be wrong, but doubt this is Mr. Toure's birth name.

Wonder where he is from?

Probably a prison convert.

“Read up on the victim. Please don’t construe that as, “she had it coming.”” No one deserves that but she didn’t do anything to prevent it from happening.

http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/03/man_charged_in_stabbing_death.html “He had “a substantial arrest history”” under various aliases in Georgia. In Tennessee, “after pleading guilty to two counts of robbery in 2006. Toure was sentenced to eight years, but was placed on probation after one year.” What judge let him out after only a year?

Before I read the name of the perp I was ready to assume it was a homosexual spat what with the School of Arts and Design reference. Now the SJS* factor may be in play.

“I think you know that the Metropolitan Police Department does not ask questions about immigration status.”

Seems like that should be one of the first questions asked.
