NEW YORK (77WABC) — The NYPD is looking to question six potential witnesses in the killing of a 22-year-old brooklyn woman whose remains were found in suitcases in her apartment after a welfare check on September 21.
So far, no arrests have been made in the homicide of 22-year-old D’Asia Johnson, who lived on Linwood Street in East New York. Authorities are looking to question her boyfriend.
Police released photos over the weekend of five women and one man whom they said might be witnesses in the case.
When building security went to check on Johnson, they told police they they encountered someone believed to be Johnson’s boyfriend who would not let them into the apartment. A group of men were then seen leaving with black bags.
Security ended up finding a meat cleaver and a horrible smell before calling 911. An autopsy showed Johnson had been stabbed to death.
Police do not believe it was a random attack, and the search continues for Johnson’s boyfriend, who had an active order of protection against him.
