Irish faces charges for criminal possession of a weapon, concealing a human corpse, and tampering with physical evidence.
According to court records, prosecutors have revealed that Irish was seen leaving his apartment at around 5:15 a.m. on July 5, carrying a blue sleeping bag on a dolly. Surveillance video footage allegedly shows the defendant using a wheelchair to transport Williams’ body to the location on East 27th Street where she was later discovered deceased.
Afterwards, Irish returned to his apartment in the Straus Houses, according to authorities.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg expressed his condemnation of Chad Irish, stating that he ended the life of Yazmeen Williams in a horrific incident. Adding to the severity of the crime, Irish heartlessly disposed of her body. Williams, who had a promising future ahead of her, was excited to begin a new chapter in her life with a job at the New York City Housing and Preservation and Development. District Attorney Bragg extended his heartfelt condolences to Williams’ loved ones as they continue to grieve her loss.
According to court records, Irish entered a plea of not guilty during his arraignment on Monday. He is currently being held without bail.
The attorney representing him could not be reached on Monday.
