Cousin Charged With Murdering Woman Stuffed In Container Dumped Near New York Storage Facility

The cousin of a single mom found dead stuffed in a container dumped near a Bronx, New York storage facility has been charged with murdering her.

The body of 35-year-old Nisaa Walcott was found Friday across from a self-storage facility in Highbridge. It’s an area known as a place where people dump “unwanted items,” a police source said.

Police on Saturday charged 21-year-old Khalid Barrow for Walcott’s murder. Barrow, Walcott’s cousin, is accused of murder and concealment of a human corpse, cops said. Barrow was found in possession of “financial documents” that belonged to Walcott, police sources said.

Walcott was reported missing Thursday by her brother, Eugene Butler, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. But the NYPD is working on the theory she was killed shortly after she was last seen on February 16, law enforcement sources said.

”We’re letting the police do their work. We’re still uncertain what happened,” Walcott’s sister-in-law Anginette Butler told the Daily News, adding, ”We’re just in shock right now.”

Walcott was a beautician at a barber shop, Live on Lexington, run by longtime friend Norma Menedez, who told The News on Friday night that the ghastly death was hard to comprehend.

“This is something you read about on the milk carton or watch on [Law and Order] SVU,” Menedez said. “This is not reality. She had a family who loves her.”

Anginette Butler recounted that her husband Eugene, “realized Wednesday night … something was wrong. She wasn’t answering her phone at all,” she recalled.

She said he filed a missing person report the following day.

The sister-in-law said the family knows Walcott is a homicide victim, but hasn’t been told the manner of her death.

”The people who killed here are just cruel to put her in a container like that,” Anginette Butler said.

“Nisaa was a very kind young lady and she helped everybody, she wouldn’t hurt a soul. We don’t know what would make somebody do something so cruel,” the sister-in-law said. “Nisaa had no enemies and she was a good person, a good giving heart.”

Adding to the mystery was that Nisaa told her son — whom Butler would only describe as a “young teen” — that she would see him after school the day she disappeared.

The youngster went on to school, and Nisaa “left her apartment building and she never returned,” Anginette Butler explained.

Walcott’s aunt, Bernadette Butler Colon, posted about her disappearance on Facebook.

“She has a wonderful son and a host of family and friends awaiting her safe return home,” Colon wrote. “This is strange as she would never abandon her beloved son.”

The devastating outcome is overwhelming Walcott’s loved ones.

”She was a great mother, she was an entrepreneur and she loved to do hair, that’s what she did, she was a young aspiring business owner,” Anginette Butler said.

“This is just hard to process at this time, especially being from Atlanta and this happened in New York,” she told The News. “We are numb right now.”

Eugene Butler had few words about the stunning loss, saying he was still trying to cope with his sister’s homicide.

“Nisaa loved her family and friends and she would do anything for them,” Eugene Butler told The News.

”She loved everyone unconditionally,” he said.
