Daily News | Rachel King was killed in a Dunkin’ drive-thru by a hitman hired by a woman who dated her ex, DA says
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 in the death of Rachel King, 35, a teacher at Grover Cleveland Mastery Charter School. Jean plotted with Zakkee Steven Alhakim, 33, gave him an illegal ghost gun and bought him a Mercury sedan that prosecutors say he used to follow King as she drove her son, Jalen, to violin practice.
Alhakim remains in custody in Philadelphia, and will be charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy and related crimes, according to Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele, who announced the arrests at a news conference. “I’ve seen a lot of horrible, even horrific, evil homicides in my career as a prosecutor,” Steele said. “Suffice it to say, I’m struggling with this one.”King had been in a relationship for years with William Hayes, who had also started a relationship with Jean, according to the affidavit of probable cause for Jean’s arrest. When King discovered the infidelity, Hayes cut ties with Jean, a decision that infuriated her, prosecutors said.
Hayes applied for and received a protection-from-abuse order against Jean in December, according to Steele. Two months later, Jean reached out to Alhakim, who is related to the father of her children. The two began exchanging frequent text messages, including images of King and Google Maps screenshots of her apartment, the affidavit said.
