A woman suspected of stabbing a Saudi scholarship student to death was arrested on Friday in Philadelphia, local media reported.
Nicole Marie Rodgers, 19, from Columbus, Georgia, is in police custody, Abc WPVI-TV said.
She is suspected of murder, robbery, burglary and other related offences.
Al-Walid Al-Gharibi was found dead inside his residential building after he was stabbed on Monday at about 11.50am EST.
Police say officers found him with a stab wound to the neck in a third-floor bathroom. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Soon after discovering Mr Al-Gharibi's body, police offered a reward of $20,000 for those providing information leading to the arrest of Ms Rodgers.
The 25-year-old computer science student had two months to go before graduating and returning to Saudi Arabia, his father said.
His mobile phone and other valuables were stolen before the suspect fled the scene. Police have not said what led to the stabbing or if Ms Rodgers knew the victim.
Mr Al-Walid's father told Saudi newspaper Okaz that she was a neighbour living in the flat opposite and that his son's body was found in her bathroom.
The suspect was said to have been preparing to move out and asked Mr Al-Walid to help her carry some of her belongings.

How to invest in gold
Investors can tap into the gold price by purchasing physical jewellery, coins and even gold bars, but these need to be stored safely and possibly insured.
A cheaper and more straightforward way to benefit from gold price growth is to buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Most advisers suggest sticking to “physical” ETFs. These hold actual gold bullion, bars and coins in a vault on investors’ behalf. Others do not hold gold but use derivatives to track the price instead, adding an extra layer of risk. The two biggest physical gold ETFs are SPDR Gold Trust and iShares Gold Trust.
Another way to invest in gold’s success is to buy gold mining stocks, but Mr Gravier says this brings added risks and can be more volatile. “They have a serious downside potential should the price consolidate.”
Mr Kyprianou says gold and gold miners are two different asset classes. “One is a commodity and the other is a company stock, which means they behave differently.”
Mining companies are a business, susceptible to other market forces, such as worker availability, health and safety, strikes, debt levels, and so on. “These have nothing to do with gold at all. It means that some companies will survive, others won’t.”
By contrast, when gold is mined, it just sits in a vault. “It doesn’t even rust, which means it retains its value,” Mr Kyprianou says.
You may already have exposure to gold miners in your portfolio, say, through an international ETF or actively managed mutual fund.
You could spread this risk with an actively managed fund that invests in a spread of gold miners, with the best known being BlackRock Gold & General. It is up an incredible 55 per cent over the past year, and 240 per cent over five years. As always, past performance is no guide to the future.
