Teen Squatters Taken Into Custody After Woman Found Dead In Duffle Bag.
(They’ll have to find a different house to squat in when they get out of jail, no bond, next week.)

Two teenagers wanted in connection to the killing of 52-year-old Nadia Vitels after she reportedly found them squatting in a New York apartment have been taken into custody.
Vitels and the two teens, Halley Tejada, 19, and Kensly Alston, 18, got into a confrontation earlier this month when Vitels went to her late mother’s apartment and found the pair occupying the home, according to ABC 7 New York.

The 52-year-old was later found stuffed in a duffle bag inside the apartment after Vitels’s son went to the apartment to check on her. A medical examiner determined Vitels died of blunt force trauma to the head. She reportedly had multiple facial fractures, a brain bleed, and broken ribs.

Tejada and Alston were arrested in Pennsylvania, after a car accident. The pair were driving Vitels’s Lexus.
“Both Halley Tejada and Kensly Alston were taken into custody in the 200 block of Liberty Court, York, PA on charges of receiving stolen property (RSP),” a press release from the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force said. “The charges stem from a motor vehicle accident that happened on March 13, 2024, when the vehicle that Kensly Alston was driving collided with another vehicle causing an accident in the 5000 block of Jonestown Road, Dauphin County, PA. It was later discovered that the vehicle belonged to a murder victim out of Kips Bay, NY.”
The press release noted that investigators were able to identify both Tejada and Alston as persons of interest related to the homicide of Vitels. The pair face possible extradition back to New York.
Squatting has become an increasing problem in cities across the country in the wake of the pandemic. A leftist push for tenants’ rights in conjunction with pandemic-related eviction moratoriums are believed to have spurred the crisis.
The Republican-controlled Florida Senate earlier this month passed HB 621, which allows property owners to request action by law enforcement to immediately remove squatters and could lead to criminal penalties. Lawmakers in Alabama have also advanced a Republican-sponsored HB 182, which gives property owners the right to have a squatter removed by law enforcement within 24 hours of signing a sworn affidavit.
