Julie Jean plotted with Zakkee Alhakim to follow and kill Rachel King just outside Philadelphia, Montgomery County prosecutors said, after a man King had been dating ended his relationship with Jean.
A jilted woman, upset that a relationship had ended, hired a hit man to stalk and kill a romantic rival, sending a gunman to shoot her as sheJulie Jean, 35, was charged with first- and third-degree murder and conspiracy in the death of Rachel King, 35, a teacher at Grover Cleveland Mastery Charter School. Jean plotted with Zakkee Steven Alhakim, 33, prosecutors said, and bought him a Mercury sedan that he used to follow King as she drove her son, Jalen, to violin practice.
Hayes applied for and received a protection-from-abuse order against Jean in December, according to Steele. In March, Jean purchased a Mercury Sable from a dealer in Cheltenham. The vehicle matched the description of the one used by the gunman who targeted King in the drive-thru, prosecutors said. Surveillance footage from King’s apartment complex also recorded the vehicle several times in the days leading up to King’s murder.
But Philadelphia Police Homicide detectives were able to link the Mercury to a murder in the city on April 7, in which a 9mm handgun was used. Using a national ballistics database, detectives positively matched those shell casings with ones taken from the crime scene in Cheltenham and determined that they came from the same gun, authorities said.
