Brooklyn woman, Dasia Johnson, 22, was dismembered in two suitcases in her apartment on Wednesday.

After security guards performed a wellness check, a Brooklyn woman was dismembered in two suitcases in her apartment on Wednesday. 

Family and neighbors said she was a victim of domestic violence before her death.

Dasia Johnson,22, lived at an apartment building as a client for the non-profit program, HousingPlus, an organization that provides housing for domestic violence victims, people with a criminal history, and other vulnerable populations. According to the New York Post, Johnson’s aunt said her niece wanted to leave her abusive relationship during a family dinner on Aug. 16 and aspired to become a teacher. Her boyfriend was arrested in March after he attempted to pick up his things but was stopped by security guards.

Although Johnson had a restraining order against her boyfriend, witnesses said they could hear the couple arguing in the hallway and the 23-year-old man screaming at one point, “The only way you out is when your mother gonna bury you, b*ch.” When Johnson’s aunt asked security guards to perform a wellness check, they said her boyfriend and another man didn’t allow them into the apartment.
