New York City was shocked by the tragic discovery of 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams’ body, found inside a sleeping bag in Kips Bay last week. The grim discovery has left the community in mourning and raised serious concerns about safety in the area.
Details of the Crime
The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Williams had been shot in the head, ruling her death as a homicide. The investigation quickly led to the arrest of 55-year-old Chad Irish, who now faces several charges related to the incident. While he has not been charged with Williams’ death, the charges against him include concealment of a corpse, criminal possession of a weapon, and menacing.
Chad Irish’s Arrest and Charges
Chad Irish was taken into police custody after a 47-year-old man identified him at the Strauss Houses on East 28th Street, where Williams’ body was found. Irish allegedly threatened the witness, adding to his list of charges. His extensive criminal record, with 21 prior arrests dating back to the early ’90s, highlights a history of run-ins with the law and periods spent in state prison.
Ongoing Investigation
Despite the charges, Irish has not yet been formally charged with the death of Yazmeen Williams. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are continuing to gather evidence to build a stronger case. The community and Williams’ family are eagerly awaiting justice and answers about the circumstances leading to her tragic death.
