Nisaa Walcott Biography
Who is Nisaa Walcott?
Police charged Khalid Barrow with murder and concealment of a human corpse on Saturday after Nisaa Walcott’s body was discovered Feb. 25 near Yankee Stadium, more than a week after she was reported missing.
Investigators believe Barrow attempted to impersonate her by using her cell phone to text concerned family members, but the stunt backfired when loved ones became suspicious of inconsistencies in the text messages.
The victim’s brother, Eugene Butler, said that although he did not return his calls, he received text messages from his sister’s phone that he knew she did not send.
“The language that he was using was like, wait a minute, that’s not my sister,” Butler told Kion 546.
Walcott’s decomposing body was dumped in a dumpster off the Deegan Expressway in Melrose, not far from a storage facility.
suspect
Cops closed in on their prime suspect after reviewing surveillance footage of Walcott and Barrow entering her apartment together on Feb. 16. Only he re-emerged from the building, sources told the New York Post.
Barrow was also captured on video removing a plastic container from the building, the New York Post reported.
cause of death
Police have not yet released the woman’s cause of death.
A neighbor told the outlet that the young cousin had been living with Walcott and his son at the time of the murder.
‘How do you do that to your cousin?’ said the unidentified neighbor. ‘She gave you shelter, she gave you a place to live. Did she really reach out to her and this is how you repay her?’
Her death shattered her close-knit family, with her brother Eugene Butler saying the murder victim “loved everyone unconditionally.”
He told the New York Daily News, “Nisaa loved her family and friends and would do anything for them.”
Victim
The victim’s sister-in-law, Anginette Buttler, said Walcott’s killer was “cruel to put her in a container like that.”
She told the Daily News: ‘Nisaa was a very kind young lady and she helped everyone, she wouldn’t hurt anyone. We don’t know what she would do if someone did something so cruel. Nisaa had no enemies and she was a good person with a good heart.
The man who discovered Walcott’s body frequents the site off 950 University Avenue along the Deegan Expressway to find and resell items dumped there by people using the self-storage facility.
He noticed a chest of drawers that had been left there around 11 a.m. and he came back in the afternoon to retrieve it. A foul odor caught his attention and he saw a human foot sticking out of a plastic container that he said hadn’t been there before, WABC-TV reported.
Family
Norma Menedez, Walcott’s friend of 15 years who employed her at the Live on Lexington barber shop, told the New York Daily News on Friday night that ‘this is something you read about on the milk carton or watch on SVU.’
‘This is not reality. She had a family who loves her,’ she told the outlet.
‘She was a beautiful person. She had a lot of life. She was an entrepreneur. She was a nice person. She was a great woman.’
Walcott’s aunt, Bernadette Butler Colon, had implored anyone with knowledge of her niece’s whereabouts to come forward in a Facebook post just hours before the body was uncovered.
‘This is my niece Nisaa Walcott. She has been missing for a week now,’ Colon wrote.
‘She has a wonderful son and a host of family and friends awaiting her safe return home. This is strange as she would never abandon her beloved son.
