“As the pandemic reached its height in Spring 2020, this defendant preyed on a fellow COVID-shelter resident in a horrific attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “He turned what should have been a safe haven into a nightmare for an ill woman who had already endured so much.

“Christina Yuna Lee was killed in an unthinkably horrific manner in her own apartment at the hands of Assamad Nash,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Ms. Yuna Lee was a creative, kind and joyful person and her death not only devastated her family but left a lasting impact on an entire community. I hope the resolution of this case offers comfort and a sense of justice for everyone that has been touched by Ms. Yuna Lee’s life and this tragedy. May her legacy be celebrated for years to come.”
