Catasauqua Police Chief Douglas Kish has released official information on a March 31 domestic assault case in the borough.

In his report, Kish said police were called around 10 a.m. to 141 Railroad St., near the intersection with Mulberry Street, for a reported assault.

Myrelis Leon-Santiago had allegedly been severely beaten by her companion, James Connelly, Kish said. Officers responded to the report and called an ambulance, which transported her to St. Luke’s Hospital, Fountain Hill, where she underwent multiple rounds of surgery.

Her condition at the hospital remained unknown at press time.

According to Kish, Connelly was at the home earlier in the day and removed a television from the house. He returned, Kish said, adding there is no information to explain why he returned or what his intent was.

Connelly, the alleged suspect, is described as a 50-year-old black male with brown eyes. He is 5 feet, 8 inches tall. He left the scene driving a 2015 white Jeep Patriot with Pennsylvania license tag FXZ-5491, Kish said.

Catasauqua police have issued a warrant for his arrest and alerted all available agencies. Residents are asked to be on the lookout if he returns to the area. The suspect is considered dangerous and should not be approached.
