"An NYC criminal justice activist facing charges over a headless torso found inside a Bronx apartment has been seen in surveillance footage wearing blonde wigs and transporting a large plastic box
Sheldon Johnson, 48, was detained Thursday in relation to a dismembered body found in a blue bin and a head stashed in a freezer inside the Bronx apartment found two days prior.
Neighbors allegedly told investigators they heard a victim pleading for his life before two shots were heard from the apartment, sources told the New York Post.
The victim was named Thursday as Colin Small, 44, as Johnson was charged with murder, manslaughter, and weapon possession.
Before the grisly discovery, Johnson was spotted chilling surveillance images appearing to disguise himself in a blonde wig and transporting large boxes and trash bags.
Police descended on the apartment Tuesday following reports from concerned neighbors over shots heard within the building.
Fears were also sparked by the alleged pleading from the victim, who was heard screaming, 'Please don't... I have a family.'
Johnson is a well-known criminal justice activist in New York City, and had recently appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast to speak about how he turned his life around.
He served 20 years in prison for a series of armed robberies in 1999, and upon his release from prison in 2019 began working as a client advocate at the public defender's office in Queens."
