Womans remains found in sleeping bag, suspect charged

 

A 55-year-old male is currently in police custody following the discovery of the body of 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams, which was located inside a sleeping bag in Kips Bay last week. The medical examiner's office has concluded that Williams suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and her death has been classified as a homicide.

Chad Irish is confronted with multiple charges, which encompass the concealment of a corpse, unlawful possession of a weapon, and menacing behavior. Authorities report that Irish allegedly threatened a 47-year-old individual who recognized him at the Strauss Houses located on East 28th Street, the site where the body of Williams was discovered.

 Investigators continue to search for the murder weapon and are currently executing a search warrant at Irish's apartment, where they suspect that Williams was murdered. Williams occasionally resided with Irish, yet the specifics of their relationship remain ambiguous. Irish has been characterized as "ambulatory," indicating that he is capable of walking and, by extension, could potentially commit a murder. However, he opts to utilize a wheelchair for mobility.

Irish has a history of 21 prior arrests dating back to the early 1990s and has experienced multiple incarcerations in state prison. His most recent release was on parole following a robbery that occurred in July 2022 in the Bronx. Although Irish has not yet been charged in connection with the death of Williams, the investigation is ongoing.

The community in which the woman was discovered is in a state of outrage. On Monday evening, a large crowd surrounded Irish as he was removed from his residence on a stretcher and taken into custody. They shouted accusations of murder, hurled insults, and physically assaulted him, questioning why he would take the life of a woman who had been raised in the neighborhood and was known to have had no conflicts with anyone.

"Enough people around here were saying that they knew exactly who did it," said neighbor Ted Oehmke. "I think that they probably already didn't like him before and seeing that he did that to this girl, they are understandably enraged and I don't blame them."

Williams' family characterized her as an individual who aspired to serve as an advocate for women and to engage with the justice system in order to support victims. "She possessed beauty, kindness, and a college education; she truly was a remarkable person," remarked the victim's aunt, Nisha Ramirez.

Suspect wanted for Mcdonalds shooting in bronx

 

Authorities have indicated that the two children who were shot at a McDonald's in the Bronx on Sunday evening might have been deliberately targeted. This update arises as the NYPD persists in its efforts to locate the individual responsible for the shooting that occurred late Saturday night.

Authorities report that the suspect exchanged a few words with the victims prior to the outbreak of gunfire shortly before 10 p.m. at 2516 White Plains Rd. in Allerton. The NYPD has confirmed that a 12-year-old boy sustained gunshot wounds to his left thigh and back, while a 13-year-old boy was shot in his left leg.

The victims were taken to Jacobi Medical Center by first responders, and both are anticipated to recover. Authorities report that the suspect escaped on foot along Mace Avenue in the direction of Bronx Park East. The last sighting of the suspect indicated they were wearing a black medical mask and a black hoodie featuring a pink logo.

The exact number of shots fired and the total number of individuals present inside the McDonald's at the time of the shooting remain uncertain.

"People's family go there with the kids and stuff like that," a neighborhood resident told a reporter. "The neighborhood is getting worse and worse."

Search for suspect after assaulting MTA bus driver

 

The New York Police Department is actively seeking the individual alleged to have assaulted an MTA bus driver in the Bronx on Saturday evening. Law enforcement officials arrived at the scene following a 911 call received at approximately 7:30 p.m., which reported an incident of assault in the University Heights area of the Bronx.

Authorities report that an individual assaulted the 28-year-old operator of a BX3 bus by punching and spitting on him.
