“Christina Yuna Lee was killed in an unthinkably horrific manner in her own apartment at the hands of Assamad Nash,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. said in a news release Tuesday. “Ms. Yuna Lee was a creative, kind and joyful person and her death not only devastated her family but left a lasting impact on an entire community.”
In February 2022, Nash followed Lee up to the sixth floor of her walk-up apartment in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood while remaining about a flight of stairs below her, and when Lee entered her apartment, Nash ran to the door and pushed his way inside, according to the DA’s office.
Nash attempted to sexually assault Lee during the incident, the DA’s office said.
After police responded to at least one neighbor’s 911 call, they heard a woman calling for help from inside the apartment. Responding officers heard Lee’s screams but were unable to breach the door, according to the DA’s release. It’s unclear why officers couldn’t immediately enter the apartment.
