Summary
Allegheny County police filed new charges against 32-year-old Elijah Hemingway, accusing him of raping and robbing a woman in Wilkinsburg hours before the home invasion that killed Dr. Idris Evans.
Detectives said they recovered multiple items linking Hemingway to the assault, including the victim's stolen cell phone, then added rape, sexual assault and robbery counts after consulting prosecutors.
The earlier attack occurred Wednesday morning on a path near an alley; authorities said the woman did not know Hemingway before the alleged assault.
Hours later, police say Hemingway entered an Edgewood-area home and stabbed Evans, 46, to death while critically injuring his wife as their two children, ages 8 and 12, fled.
Hemingway already faced seven charges in that killing, including homicide, aggravated assault and burglary, and court records show he had been released without bail in July on a separate February burglary case.
