Alexis was brutally attacked inside the apartment complex in the 4600 block of North Beacon Street, allegedly by her mother's boyfriend John Singleton, 31, around 9:45 p.m. on Sunday.

Neighbor Shielyndia McFadden, 36, on Monday remembered Alexis as "a neighborhood child. ... It's sick, disgusting, sad. She was only a 12-year-old child. She was a baby."

Singleton, who was recently release from prison following domestic battery charges against Alexis' mother is now charged with first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated harm to police. He was denied bail.
