“He broke her ribs, her legs, a couple months ago,” Stephanie Harris said after the grisly find.
“She came back, she was on crutches. And he broke her apartment down, broke the TVs in her apartment. And I cried to her, like ‘Listen, I don’t want to see you on the news.’”

Nassau County Assistant District Attorney Brittany Gurrieri revealed in court that Williams was a person of interest in Johnson’s slaying.
