The woman found dead inside a sleeping bag on a Manhattan sidewalk last week had been seen alive, on surveillance video, throwing out trash in her apartment building late last month — but she was never seen leaving the floor, according to a criminal complaint obtained Thursday.

Yazmeen Williams was spotted in her East 28th Street building in Kips Bay around 1:45 p.m. on June 30. She had been wearing black shorts and black high-top sneakers with a white sole.
The complaint says she wasn’t seen leaving the floor via the elevator or the stairwell. It also says she was never seen on video leaving the building itself prior to the discovery of her body on July 5.

Four days prior to that, on the evening of June 26, prosecutors allege surveillance video shows Williams in a hallway arguing with a man who appears to be seated in a wheelchair just inside an apartment. He allegedly says, “I will shoot you,” according to the complaint. It’s not clear what may have prompted the dispute.
Prosecutors identify that man in the wheelchair as Chad Irish.

They alleged Irish murdered her, charging him with that crime along with concealment of a human corpse in the death of Williams, whose body was found Friday among a heap of designated trash collectibles.

Her death was ruled a homicide. It’s not clear how long her body was in the sleeping bag
before the grisly discovery. A friend of Williams told WCBS that she and Irish knew each other, but the extent of the relationship is unclear.
The friend said that Irish was “always with” Williams but that they “weren’t necessarily” dating.

Williams received a degree in criminal justice from Buffalo State University.

This isn’t the first time he’s faced a murder charge: Investigators said he allegedly blew up a house as his uncle walked inside in 1994.
