NYC cops allegedly stood by while Chinatown woman was killed in her home

Two cops heard the desperate screams of the Chinatown woman who was stalked by a homeless stranger and murdered in her apartment — and even spoke to her killer through the door — but failed to help, the victim’s family claims in a lawsuit.

Christina Yuna Lee, 35, was attacked by an assailant who snuck in behind her as she entered her Chrystie Street building around 4:20 a.m. on Feb. 13, 2022.

Neighbors heard her cries for help “for at least five minutes” as she was being viciously butchered, and dialed 911.

Two unidentified officers from the 5th Precinct, about three blocks away, responded to the 911 calls in four minutes “and heard Ms. Lee screaming for help,” according to the Manhattan Supreme Court filing against the city and the cops.

They “failed to gain entry to Ms. Lee’s apartment until Ms. Lee had been stabbed more than 40 times by her attacker and succumbed to her injuries,” her aunt, Boksun Lee, said in the court filing.

They even spoke to her alleged killer “through the closed door of Ms. Lee’s apartment,” the suit alleges.

“Despite having reason to believe Ms. Lee’s life was in imminent danger, [the officers] failed to gain entry to Ms. Lee’s apartment or otherwise provide her with any potentially life-saving police or medical assistance at that time,” according to the litigation, which seeks unspecified damages.

It took additional officers more than an hour to arrive, and the Emergency Services Unit cops finally forced open the apartment door.

Lee’s body was found inside and Assamad Nash, 25, whose long rap sheet included robbery and petty larceny, was found hiding under a mattress.

Cops won’t be arrested for this but if they killed the murderer they might be.

No surprise. All the good cops quit in 2021, leaving behind the cowards.

Did these officers recently get dismissed from jobs as SROs at a public school? / absolutely shame on the part of the officers.

Sad. Let me guess, arresting the thug and saving the woman would have been rayciss against the thug.

The people of NYC can send a clear message to those who are enabling this environment. But they do not, voting for the worst characters every single time. So in a way, they asked for this crime because they vote the same losers into power.

Sorry for the few who still have some sense over there.

Cops do not have a duty to protect others from harm.

some say this will only end when every judge,
and lawyer, who let him go, along with the perp
and his parents, are jailed for 60 years,
and then removed from the USA forever.

more likely, the police and the perp will be reward
with medals and more “authoritas”.

At least the cops are wearing masks. You know, keeping everyone safe and everything.

When seconds count, police are only minutes away….then they will wait outside for an hour for the assailant to finish you off and then they will write the report.

At least all of the officers wen5 home safely….
