18-Year-Old Arrested in Bronx for Murder Accomplice Role

Ronei Harris, an 18-year-old, was arrested on Tuesday by the US Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force and NYPD as she was leaving a motel in the Bronx. She faces multiple charges, including murder, in connection with the brutal killing of Lutalo Henderson, whose dismembered body parts were discovered in various locations, including a crockpot in a Bronx apartment and a burning shopping cart in Yonkers. The investigation revealed that Harris and her alleged accomplice, Muhammad Aadil, 40, had a dispute with Henderson, leading to the violent crime. Prosecutors detailed the horrific nature of the murder, stating that the suspects mutilated Henderson by severing his legs, hands, and jaw before disposing of his remains. The Bronx District Attorney, Darcel Clark, condemned the actions of the defendants, highlighting the brutal disregard for human life exhibited in this case. Aadil was arrested days prior to Harris and has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and concealment of a human corpse. During the investigation, police discovered a firearm and drugs at the Bronx residence where the dismembered remains were found. Harris's arrest comes as part of a broader effort to address violent crime in the area. She is expected to be arraigned soon, while Aadil's next court date is set for December 19. The relationship between Harris and Aadil remains undisclosed, but the severity of the charges against both suspects indicates the gravity of the crime. This case has drawn significant attention due to its gruesome details and the implications it has for community safety in the Bronx and Yonkers.
