The woman, whose identity remains unknown, was discovered in a recycling bin at the home in the 9600 block of Wellsworth Drive, near Bissonnet and Eldridge Parkway west of the Alief area, according to court records. She had been strangled, according to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
A resident in the Keegan’s Wood subdivision said Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies apprehended his 24-year-old neighbor, Alex Jude Akpan, and put him into the back of a police vehicle around 7 p.m. Thursday.

As of Tuesday, authorities have been unable to identify the dead woman. She was described by the Harris County Institute for Forensic Sciences as a young, black woman about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 162 pounds with medium-length, black hair. She was wearing large, yellow hoop earrings in one ear, olive green pants and a black and white striped jersey emblazoned with a “NYC Classic” logo.
The shirt had what appeared to be an orange stain.

After being shown a photo of the dead woman, neighbor McArthur Hicks said he had seen her jogging and listening to music outside the home several times in the past three to four months.
He last saw the woman the weekend before her body was found.
“I thought she was moving or something because I saw her and a taller black guy putting stuff into his car,” said Hicks, who identified the man as Akpan. “They were both walking out with clothes and putting them in his car.”

Hicks said he had seen her wearing the same striped jersey shown in photos from the medical examiner.
A news release from the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences stated the woman had a gray Hanes hoodie tied around her waist. She was not wearing shoes or socks.

Murder suspect's mom saw victim's foot in bin, tried to do CPR

This is so shocking. The suspect’s mother found the victim in a recycling bin in the suspect’s bedroom. I can’t even.

Yemitan’s body was found on September 5 when Akpan’s mother went into her son’s bedroom at the home they both share and saw a green recycling bin.
She found it strange the bin was in her son’s room instead of the backyard. When she lifted the lid, she discovered a human foot.
Akpan’s mother then tipped over the bin and found Yemitan’s body inside. She called her ex-husband and they alerted authorities and attempted CPR.

Yemitan, an aspiring beauty stylist and student at Houston Community College, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities said there were no obvious signs of trauma on Yemitan’s body, but noted her eyes seemed to signify that she had been strangled.
The county medical examiner has since determined that strangulation was the cause of death.
A witness told police that Yemitan had only met Akpan a few days before her death.
