Short article but amazing detective work! I expect that there are many surveillance cameras in the area and if the perp used a car to leave the area, then perhaps they got a license plate and were able to trace it. The location where they found the suspect is due north of Northern Liberties near Kensington.

Been running some version of Linux (initially Red Hat & Debian, but most of the time SuSE, which I am using currently) since 1995. 
Keep hoping that more these windoze programs can be run in WINE but I still end up dual-booting (too much hassle to go back to fooling around with VMs but I may try again one of these days).
