BALTIMORE (AP) - Baltimore police say they have arrested an 18-year-old man in the slaying and rape of a homeless woman.
Police say the body of 35-year-old Jessica Gibson was found behind large pallets on a downtown Baltimore access road on Wednesday. Gibson was homeless, and had four children. Police say she had been sexually assaulted and strangled.
