Body parts in suitcases in blood-filled Brooklyn apartment confirmed to be 22-year-old woman, police say
where officers had gone to conduct a welfare check on a 22-year-old woman earlier this month indeed belonged to her.
They identified her as D'Asia Johnson, of Linwood Street in East New York, and said her death had been ruled a homicide. No arrests have been made in the gruesome case and it's still not clear how Johnson died -- or if cops have any idea who may have killed her. Building security went to check on Johnson in her sixth-floor apartment after not seeing her for about a month, law enforcement sources have said. It's not clear what prompted them to check that day, Wednesday, Sept. 21, but a senior NYPD official said security encountered someone believed to be her boyfriend.
That man wouldn't let them inside, the senior official said, and security said they'd call the cops to gain access. He and another man left the apartment once security officers walked away, building surveillance showed, and one of the men was carrying a black duffel bag, the senior NYPD official said. Security saw them leave and went back to the apartment.
