Horror murder of New York woman whose body was 'stuffed in sleeping bag and dragged by man in wheelchair'

Court documents from a murder case where the killer stuffed the body of a woman in a sleeping bag have revealed more disturbing details.

31-year-old Yazmeen Williams was last seen at her apartment building in Kips Bay, New York City , on June 30. The last sighting of her was on surveillance footage, as she disposed of her trash in the building. She was never seen leaving her floor or exiting the building.

On June 26, the same surveillance cameras caught Williams having an argument with a man in a wheelchair. The man, who was later identified as 55-year-old Chad Irish, appears to threaten Wiliams, saying, “I will shoot you.”

Irish has since been charged with her murder and the concealment of her corpse.

Williams’ body was found among trash collections, wrapped in a dark sleeping bag and black trash bag. Williams’ death was ruled a homicide, after a gunshot wound to her head was discovered.

Surveillance apparently shows a man in a wheelchair dragging the sleeping bag, which investigators believe to be Irish. It is unclear how long her body had been in the sleeping bag before it was discovered.

Irish was recently paroled in 2022 after a conviction on robbery charges. He also faced a murder charge back in 1994, after he was accused of blowing up a house as his uncle walked inside. He is set to appear in court again this week.
