Police ID woman, man slain in arguments

Police have released the names of a woman and man fatally shot during separate disputes.

Linda Ellison, 40, was found last night, shot in the chest allegedly by David Bowens, 49, at his North Philadelphia home in the 1100 block of Overington Street.

Bowens, arrested and charged with murder and related offenses, told a coworker he shot his girlfriend for cheating on him, and the coworker called 911 about 8:20 p.m., according to police.

Through a window, officers could see a woman on the living room floor and they forced their way in to find she had been shot in the chest, police said.

Police found Naim lying in the street. He was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital at 2:27 a.m.
