NEW YORK - Two suspects are in custody in the brutal murder of a woman whose body was found hidden in a duffel bag in a New York City apartment.

Halley Tejada, 19, and Kensly Alston, 18, were arrested in York, Penn., about 185 miles from Manhattan for allegedly driving a stolen car.

The U.S. Marshals say the two are considered persons of interest in beating death of 52-year-old Nadia Vitels.

An NYPD source says Tejada is from Washington Heights and Alston is from the Bronx.

Her body was found in a duffel bag in a closet at a 19th floor apartment on 31st Street in Manhattan's Kips Bay neighborhood back on March 14. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide due to blunt force trauma to the head.





Her son made the discovery after coming to check on her because he hadn't heard from her.

An NYPD source said it's alleged that Tejada and Alston were squatting in the apartment when Vitels showed up to move either herself or someone else in.

Sources say the two suspects were seen on surveillance video in the building and outside stealing Vitels' car from the street, where it was parked.

The vehicle was traced to New Jersey and then Pennsylvania, where it was involved in an accident on March 13. According to authorities, Alston, who was allegedly driving Vitels' Lexus at the time of the crash, initially gave officers responding to the crash a fake name.




The two were being hunted by the Joint Fugitive Task Force.

CBS New York spoke with immediate family members of both suspects. Neither seemed to know much about Tejada or Alston's recent whereabouts.

Her Name Is Nadia Vitels: White Woman Murdered, Stuffed In Duffel Bag By Two Black Teenagers Squatting In Her Deceased Mother's NYC Apartment

“Some people would tell you I’m crazy. They would be wrong. It’s not crazy when the state of the world makes you want to kill everyone responsible. It’s crazy when it doesn’t.” — Frank Castle, The Punisher
I think about this quote a lot, especially after reading about the insanity of squatters having more rights than homeowners all across America (homeowners being arrested for trying to remove these parasites), and illegal aliens using their social media accounts to teach illegal aliens how to squat on homes in the USA and take possession of them.
Well, I think about this quote hypothetically, of course… but we do live in a crazy world run by people committed to staying in power. We can call them crazy, but remember the truth of what they’ve created: “The purpose of a system is what it does.”
Her name is Nadia Vitels, a white woman whose body was found in a duffel bag.
She was allegedly murdered by two black squatters who were living in her recently deceased mother’s home in New York City.

2 suspected squatters in custody in Pennsylvania after woman found dead in duffel bag in Manhattan, ABC7NY.com, March 23, 2024
KIPS BAY, Manhattan (WABC)—Two suspected squatters wanted for questioning in the murder of a woman who walked in on them living inside her recently deceased mother’s Kips Bay apartment are now in custody.
The suspects were caught Friday in York, Pennsylvania, by members of the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force just before 11 a.m.
Halley Tejada, 19, and Kensly Alston, 18, were wanted in connection to the brutal death of Nadia Vitels.
Tejada is being held on a local charge of receiving stolen property, for possession of the victim’s stolen Lexus. Both are being held pending extradition for her murder.
Building superintendent Jean Pompee says a weight has been lifted from his shoulders.
“Knowing that there’s justice for her and her family? That’s a relief,” Pompee said.
Vitels arrived in the country from Spain last week to prepare the East 31st Street apartment for a family friend. It was owned by her mother, and had been vacant for the three to four months since her death.
Instead, she discovered the man and a woman living inside.
A struggle broke out and the victim was slammed against the wall and died of blunt force trauma to the head.
Her body was found on Thursday of last week by her son, who came to the apartment with relatives after they had not heard from her for two days. Pompee was there when her body was discovered. A foot was protruding from a duffel bag.
“The closet, you know, was partially open with all the clothes pulled out,” Pompee said. “And one of the inlaws said, ‘I believe there’s a body in that bag. Can you please open it?’ The firemen did, and he announced there was a body in there.”
Many of Vitels’ belongings were tossed down the garbage chute.
The suspects stole her Lexus and fled across the George Washington Bridge through New Jersey to Pennsylvania, where they crashed in Lower Paxton Township, just outside Harrisburg.
Local police in Pennsylvania did not run the license plate until the day after the crash, giving the two the opportunity to get away.
Detectives recovered surveillance video of the two visiting multiple car dealerships, attempting to buy a new car for $1,000. They were not successful.
The squatters were able to occupy the apartment, which has no front door, through the building’s elevator, which opens directly into the space. The elevator requires key access and detectives are still figuring out how the two got the elevator to open on Vitels’ floor.
Pompee told Eyewitness News he’d never seen them before.
“As far as this connection between the perpetrators, nobody knows,” Pompee said. “I’ve never seen them before. The last we saw of the victim was on Tuesday, going up to the apartment. I can’t imagine treating someone’s life, you know, so heartlessly.”
Investigators have recovered surveillance video of Vitels waiting for alternate side parking rules to park her Lexus on East 31st Street before entering the apartment building, and of the suspects driving away in the vehicle after she was killed.
The motive is still not clear.

The motive is clear: the black individuals, Halley Tejada and Kensly Alston, were illegally occupying a domicile, and when a white woman (whose mother once resided in the property) came to the apartment, they murdered her and stuffed her in a duffel bag for daring to believe they didn’t belong.
The purpose of a system is what it does, right?
Increasingly, white people just don’t belong in the new America being constructed by a seemingly “crazy” ruling elite, but they view us as crazy to believe they shouldn’t be held responsible for Nadia Vitels’ murder.
