Investigators are looking into whether Yazmeen had any connection to the man taken into custody.
Questions are still mounting after Yazmeen Williams's body was found inside a sleeping bag in Kips Bay. The body of the 31-year-old was found outside a building on East 27th Street last Friday. The medical examiner determined that she died from a gunshot wound to the head.FOX 5's Arthur Chi'en reports that her family is convinced that she knew her killer. A man in an electric wheelchair has been taken in and charged with concealment of a corpse in addition to other unrelated crimes.
Yazmeen's family, friends, and members of the community waited angrily as the man in the wheelchair was taken into custody. Sources tell FOX 5 NY that police have surveillance video showing the man dragging the bags."I think he's disgusting. He looks like scum," Yazmeen's mom said moments after the man was taken by police. The Post reports that Yazmeen's mom said the man in the wheelchair knew her daughter, but that remains unclear.
