NYPD Searching For Man Who Dismembered His Girlfriend and Left Her Remains Inside Suitcases
The New York Police Department is now searching for a 23-year-old suspect in the murder of a 22-year-old woman. Last Friday police named the boyfriend as a “person of interest” once Dasia Johnson was found dismembered and stuffed inside two suitcases in her Brooklyn apartment, ABC 7 NY reported. The boyfriend was reportedly last seen leaving the victim’s home with a duffel bag right before the building’s security guard made discovery.
The guard searched the apartment after residents complained about the foul smell coming from the sixth-floor unit. A meat cleaver was reportedly located near her dismembered remains.
The building guard saw the victim’s boyfriend initially refused to let them inside for a wellness check. Then once the guard went downstairs to call the police, they noticed the suspect leave with a male friend carrying a suspected bag of evidence, ABC 7 NY reported.
Once he left, security guards entered the apartment to “see blood all over the place,” NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
“It was like something in a movie,” resident Stephanie Harris, said.
“Not something you see in real life. Blood everywhere, it was nasty. You could imagine what happened to her. She fought for her life, cause there was blood like splattered.”
Harris remembered how the male suspect would regularly abuse the victim. Police haven’t released the identity of the suspect.
The woman reportedly had a valid order of protection against her boyfriend until the end of the month. The victim’s aunt spoke out against building security guards for continuing to let the boyfriend enter despite times when he was seen abusing her in the hallways according to The NY Post.
“They know their tenants. They opened the door for him,” the aunt said.
“She didn’t have no other boyfriend. They didn’t do enough. They could have prevented him from coming in there…They’re security, they’re trained to put somebody down. There is [sic] ways to stop him from coming in.”
