Murder Charges Filed in Washington Heights Mother’s Slaying

In September 2026, Tiliek Shamel Thompson was apprehended and charged with murder following the violent death of Lovay Williams in her Washington Heights residence. The victim was discovered by authorities during a wellness check, and reports indicate the fatal assault occurred while her seven-year-old daughter was present in the home. Thompson, who reportedly had a long-term relationship with Williams, turned himself in to the 33rd Precinct after being named a person of interest. While the suspect’s legal counsel has urged the public to withhold judgment, the victim's family expressed a sense of relief and justice regarding the arrest. Outside the apartment building, a memorial of flowers and candles has been established to honor the young mother’s memory.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
