The man who was sought by police after a woman was killed and two others were assaulted in a beauty salon in East Germantown on Monday was arrested by SEPTA police early Friday.
According to officials, Jamal Pistoria, 29, was arrested by SEPTA police at about 1 a.m. when he was discovered on a b
us along the 500 block of South Broad Street on Friday morning.
Pistoria has been sought by police after 34-year-old Bellaniri Ofelia Hernandez Camilo was shot and killed, and two other women were sexually attacked, at an East Germantown at a hair salon on Monday.
Officials did not immediately share additional information on Pistoria’s apprehension.
Earlier this week, police detailed specifics from the deadly attack, saying that investigators believe Pistoria entered the salon and forced an employee to a rear room of the salon at gunpoint, where other employees were already located.
In surveillance video obtained by NBC10 from inside the salon, Pistoria fires one gunshot toward the ceiling.
Once at the rear of the salon, Pistoria is believed to have shot Hernandez Camilo in the head and then began sexually assaulting and pistol-whipping the other two victims.
Pistoria then tried to remove one of the victims’ clothing, but she fought until Pistoria ran out of the room, police said.
He then tried to take the cash register, but dropped it as he ran out of the salon.
He picked up something from the register and left the salon, at which point one of the victims ran out of the salon to get help.
Police were able to positively identify Pistoria through surveillance footage.
Earlier this week, investigators released an image of him and asked the public for help locating him.
