Vector Security Employee Killed By Ex-Boyfriend During Break
Montgomery County PA Aug 7 2018
Police say that an employee of a security firm was stabbed and then ran over by her ex-boyfriend in the parking of the 24/7 security-monitoring company’s office.
33-year-old Angela Maya Stith, an employee of Vector Security, was brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend Friday morning.
The incident occurred around 2:15 am while Stith was on break during an overnight shift.
Police and numerous other agencies responded to the calls about the attack.
The suspect was later arrested by a Pennsylvania State Trooper after he was spotted going west on the Pennsylvania Turnpike near the Allegheny Tunnel, about 210 miles west of the scene.
The suspect, Lawrence Crawley, set himself on fire after being pulled over by a Pennsylvania State trooper several hours later on the other side of the state. Crawley, 33, was hospitalized in critical condition.
A spokesperson for Vector Security said this:
We are saddened by the recent events surrounding the death of Angela Stith early Friday morning. Angela was a relatively new employee starting in January of this year, and she was liked by her coworkers and peers. Our hearts go out to her family during this difficult period.
Our local teams have been working with law enforcement to provide all of the necessary information, including giving access to video footage and employees to help in the investigation.
Our focus now is on our employees allowing them time to grieve and process what occurred.
In particular, we are assisting the ones that rushed to help Angela along with the number of employees who watched these tragic events unfold over live video feed.
We are providing on-site counseling to all employees and ask that the media respect their privacy as they grieve for a coworker and friend.
For any further details related to this case, we ask that you review District Attorney Kevin Steele’s August 3rd press conference related to this matter.
