Killing of Christina Yuna Lee Heightens Safety Fears in Chinatown
The New York Times
Ms. Lee, who was described as “irreplaceable,” was stabbed to death in her apartment after a man followed her into her building.
A 25-year-old man was arrested on murder and burglary charges on Monday, a day after the police said he stabbed and killed a 35-year-old woman whom he had followed into her building in Lower Manhattan.
The suspect, Assamad Nash, whose last known address was a men’s homeless shelter in the Bowery, was taken into custody on Sunday inside an apartment on Chrystie Street in Chinatown, where the victim, Christina Yuna Lee, was found dead in the bathtub. He was scheduled to be formally charged in criminal court on Monday evening.
Ms. Lee, who graduated from Rutgers University in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in art history, worked as a creative producer for Splice, an online music platform based in New York City.
