Published July 9, 2024, 8:18 a.m. ETAn ex-con with a lengthy rap sheet has been taken into custody and charged after a Big Apple woman was found shot dead, wrapped in a sleeping bag and dumped outside with the trash, police sources told The Post Tuesday.
Chad Irish, 55,—who has a twin brother by the same name with his own rap sheet—was charged with concealment of a human corpse, criminal possession of a weapon and menacing after he was brought in for questioning on Monday over the death of 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams, the sources said.
… NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a briefing that cops have surveillance footage of a man in a wheelchair dragging the body along.
… “We backtracked that video to the Strauss Houses to where our eventual perpetrator, Chad Irish, is removing the package, sleeping bag, from the location in his wheelchair,” Kenny said. …
“When they take her body out of the sleeping bag a bullet falls out of the back of her head, so we know that she was shot in the head,” Kenny told reporters. “So, we’re still working the homicide case.” …
Irish has 21 priors to his name, sources said.
He served three years in prison after he was convicted of attempted arson for trying to blow up his uncle’s home in the Bronx back in 1994 by dislodging a gas pipe and two propane tanks, sparking an explosion.

… It comes after the person of interest was mobbed by dozens of angry locals on Monday when cops hauled him in for questioning over Williams’ death.
The victim’s grief-stricken mom, Nicole Williams, was among those who came face-to-face with Irish after cops brought him outside of the Straus Houses, a NYCHA complex, in Kips Bay on a stretcher and loaded him into an ambulance.
At least one man managed to punch Irish as others screamed “kill him,” footage of the chaos shows.
Williams’ body was found stuffed inside the sleeping bag and dumped next to a pile of trash on East 27th Street in Manhattan late Friday.
A few blocks north of nice Gramercy Park.
… Meanwhile, his twin brother, who also uses the name Chad Irish, is on parole for robbery and assault, law enforcement sources said.
I really hope that the felonious twins both named Chad Irish are identical twins and not weak-tea fraternal twins.
But what if this Chad Irish claims that his identical twin Chad Irish is the real killer?
O.J. Simpson should have proposed the real killer was his identical twin O.J. Simpson, the evil O.J. twin. “That’s how we rushed for all that yardage—I played the odd-numbered games and he played the even-numbered games, so we were always better rested than the defenses.”
