Woman's Remains Found in Sleeping Bag in NYC, Suspect Arrested

Grim news outta New York City — a woman’s body was found in a sleeping bag left on a sidewalk for trash pickup.

Authorities found the decomposing body wrapped in a plastic bag inside the sleeping bag, which was tied to a dolly cart — this after they responded to reports Friday of a suspicious package with a foul smell outside a building on East 27th Street.

The victim has been identified as 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams, and cops have ruled her death a homicide … revealing she was shot in the head.

A man in his 50s named Chad Irish was arrested in connection with the incident. He was brought in for questioning Monday regarding Yazmeen’s death … and is facing charges of concealment of a human corpse, criminal possession of a weapon, and menacing.

At this point, he hasn’t been charged with any homicide-related charges in connection with the death.

People in the neighborhood already seem convinced Irish is guilty. For some reason, he was on a stretcher as police escorted him from the precinct to an ambulance … and officers and paramedics struggled to hold back angry crowds.
