2 Arrested For Dumping Body Near Yonkers Bank

Two Bronx residents have been charged in relation to a body found in a duffle bag outside a Yonkers bank. Yonkers police said Tuesday Christopher Myrie, 38, and Jonisha Graham, 29, of Schiefflein Avenue in the Bronx, were both charged with concealment of a human corpse, a felony.

To date, no one has been charged with the murder of Deshawn Cortez-Seaborne, whose body was found shortly after noon Nov. 19 outside the Wells Fargo Bank branch at 500 Odell Ave. in Yonkers.

Cortez-Seaborne, 24, a resident of Portsmouth, Virginia, suffered multiple fatal stab wounds to his back, torso, neck and head.

Yonkers investigators determined that he was murdered in the Bronx and his body was dumped in Yonkers in an attempt to conceal the homicide.

Yonkers police said the New York City Police Department now has primary jurisdiction and is the lead agency in the homicide investigation.

The Yonkers Police Department said it will continue to assist and support the NYPD in the investigation.

Myrie and Graham are being prosecuted by the Westchester County District Attorney's Office.

They are due back in court Dec. 21.
