City Housing employee stabbed to death by resident

A resident and employee at the Chester Towers in Philadelphia was stabbed to death by a former neighbor. Jessie Wilson Anderson just started her shift as a recpetionist at the City Housing Authority office when David Alonzo Bentley came in and attacked her on the morning of August 26th. A worker, who was just finishing her shift, and an elderly resident were the only witnesses. They both claim that Bentley, who had recently moved out of the facility, walked in and immediately starting stabbing Anderson. He then left the scene in a calm manner. He was later apprehended and is charged with murder. Apparently, the two had confrontations before and Anderson’s sister claims that he had made previous threats to the victim. At the time of the incident, Bentley was currently out on bond while awaiting trial on another assault, this one against an elderly resident of the same apartment building.
