Alston and Tejada were since indicted by a grand jury on charges of second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and robbery, and multiple counts of criminal possession of stolen property, grand larceny and concealment of a human corpse, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. According to prosecutors, Vitels first arrived at the East 31st Street apartment on the morning of March 10, dropping off items at the location and leaving a few minutes later. Later that day, at about 1 p.m., Alston and Tejada arrived and allegedly broke into Vitels’ apartment, using a pink suitcase to break the location.
Later that afternoon, prosecutors said, Alston and Tejada were seen leaving the apartment at about 2:24 p.m.; they allegedly used Vitels’ credit card to buy a vape at a local smoke shop and a suitcase from a nearby Target, then returned to the location at about 3:03 p.m. “The super makes entry into the apartment, does a quick look around. As they’re getting ready to leave, the son opens up the closet door and discovers the duffel bag with a foot sticking out,” Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at an April 4 briefing.
