2024-07-20Disturbing new video obtained by The Post shows the moment when the man accused of shooting a woman, bagging up her body and dumping it in a Kips Bay trash pile allegedly hauls the remains out of his apartment.
The footage shows career criminal Chad Irish , whose record includes 21 arrests dating back to the 1980s and multiple stints in state prison, grunting and groaning as he struggles to pull a sleeping bag out of his unit in NYCHA’s Straus Houses, police sources said.
Irish, 55, is able to walk but is seen using a motorized wheelchair in part of the new clip filmed on an unknown date.
Irish allegedly shot Yazmeen Williams in the head before he brazenly dumped her body on Third Avenue June 6.
Cops tracked him down using surveillance video showing Irish hauling the body down East 27th Street using his wheelchair.
He was arrested at his home on East 28th Street on July 9 and was swarmed by dozens of furious neighbors including the distraught mother of his victim.
