Man, 54, Charged With First-Degree Murder in Fatal Stabbing of Woman, 39, Inside Flushing Massage Parlor
Queens County District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on November 12 that Zhordrack Blodywon, 54, has been charged with first-degree murder, robbery, sexual abuse, weapons possession and other offenses in the fatal stabbing of Shao Ling Huang, 39, inside a Flushing massage parlor on November 6. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole, prosecutors said.
According to the charges, between 3:50 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. on November 6, Blodywon entered the massage parlor at 36-17 164th Street in Flushing, in New York City, forcibly touched the victim, stole her property and stabbed her multiple times in the head and throughout her body. Her body was discovered at about 4:24 p.m., when another worker went to the establishment to check on Huang; the victim's cell phone was missing from the premises.
"The defendant is accused of sexually abusing and brutally murdering a 39-year-old woman inside a Flushing business last Friday afternoon," Katz said. "Zhordrack Blodywon is now charged with first-degree murder for this horrific act of violence and faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole, if convicted. I thank our partners at the NYPD for quickly apprehending the defendant."
Blodywon was apprehended three days later on Astoria Boulevard near 98th Street. The investigation was conducted by Detective Juliana Villa of the NYPD's 109th Detective Squad, which covers Flushing.
Blodywon, who is undomiciled, was arraigned on November 11 on a criminal complaint charging him with murder in the first degree, two counts of murder in the second degree, robbery in the first degree, burglary in the second degree, sexual abuse in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. Queens Criminal Court Judge Jennifer Tubridy remanded him and ordered him to return to court on November 17. The District Attorney's office noted that criminal complaints are accusations and that a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
