Fairhill man arrested in girlfriend's stabbing death

Police arrested a West Philly man on murder charges yesterday after he allegedly stabbed his girlfriend to death last week in Logan.

Gerrell Hall, 28, of Gross Street near Callowhill, is being held without bail pending a July 8 preliminary hearing, according to court records. Officers responding to a report of someone screaming found Brittany Lange Green, 28, collapsed and bleeding in her home on Warnock Street near Rockland at 7:15 a.m. last Wednesday. Paramedics declared her dead at the scene at 7:50 a.m. Green, a mother of three, died of stab wounds to her neck, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.

Hall was scheduled to appear in court to face drug charges on the day he allegedly killed Green, according to court records. But he was a no-show, prompting the judge to order a bench warrant, records show. Hall is a repeat offender with past arrests for offenses including robbery, aggravated assault, theft and corruption of minors, court records show.
