SYSTEM FAIL: The Unsolved Murder of Rickie Jolene Bowen Morgan

On July 16, 2016 in the Kensington Corridor of   Philadelphia Rickie Jolene Bowen Morgan (Rickie Morgan) was murdered after being lured to a back lot alley under false pretenses. Kensington is considered the dividing line between is the Lower Northeast section of Philadelphia and North Philadelphia. A neighborhood that,  despite aggressive gentrification and enforcement efforts, is known to be  plagued by opioids and a pharmacopoeia of street drugs.
