Zhordrack Blodywon
Introduction
Zhordrack Blodywon, a 54-year-old homeless man who served more than eight years in state prison for a 2012 rape at a Flushing massage parlor, was charged on November 9, 2026 with murdering a 39-year-old woman inside another Flushing massage parlor three days earlier β a killing that echoed the crime that sent him to prison in the first place . He faces counts of murder, robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon in the November 6 death, and was taken into custody by an NYPD Warrants Squad about four miles from the scene . His arraignment was pending as of Tuesday, and attorney information for him was not immediately available .
Background Information
Blodywon’s criminal record centers on a strikingly similar 2012 case: he was convicted of raping a 55-year-old woman who worked at a massage parlor on Union Street near Northern Boulevard in Flushing on October 17, 2012, and three days later of stealing two cellphones at gunpoint from another massage parlor on the same street . He served more than eight years in state prison β from May 2016 to October 2024 β on burglary and rape convictions before his release on parole, and his post-release supervision runs through 2034 . NBC New York, citing law-enforcement sources, reported he was also suspected of beating a massage worker unconscious before raping her in Greenwich Village in 2012, though that case was not reported to have ended in a conviction . His rap sheet additionally includes past arrests for possession, arson, criminal possession of stolen property, and another Queens rape arrest in 2010, whose resolutions were not provided, and the Daily News reported he has been arrested eight times in New York City, most recently for rape in 2013 β those are arrests, not reported convictions . Police described him as homeless; where he had been living since his October 2024 release has not been reported .
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Charged with murder, three years after finishing a rape sentence. Blodywon is charged with murder, robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon for the November 6, 2026 killing of a 39-year-old woman; his arraignment was pending and no attorney information was available. He previously served eight years in prison for a 2012 rape and burglary at Flushing massage businesses. The current charges are not convictions, and the earlier Greenwich Village case was never reported as adjudicated.
On the afternoon of Friday, November 6, 2026, camera footage showed a man in all-black clothing β identified by law-enforcement sources as Blodywon β entering the storefront at 36-17 164th Street in Flushing at around 4:16 p.m.; twenty minutes later, the same man was caught on camera leaving by kicking open the door . Minutes after that, at around 4:30 p.m., a friend of the 39-year-old victim found her naked and lying face down inside the shop, suffering from multiple stab wounds across her head and body, and called 911 . Officers who responded found the woman with heavy bleeding and pronounced her dead at the scene; the city Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide on Sunday . Police said Blodywon did not appear to know the victim .
A law-enforcement source told the Daily News the suspect was spotted fleeing the scene with a black garbage bag, and officers said they seized a knife off Blodywon during his arrest . The NYPD Warrants Squad picked him up Monday at an intersection in East Elmhurst, roughly four miles from the murder scene, and charged him with murder, robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon; it was not immediately clear what was stolen during the attack .
Public Reaction and Consequences
The storefront itself drew scrutiny alongside the killing: neighbors told the Daily News the shop, which advertises massages and occupies the space of a former skin-care clinic, is usually staffed by only one or two women, with one calling the employees “easy targets for robbery” and another describing it as a place men go “when you want a happy ending” . The city Department of Buildings had received a complaint the day before the murder alleging the business was an illegal adult establishment violating zoning laws . Jessica Kang, whose legitimate spa Skin Sarang operated at the address until it moved a year earlier, told the New York Post the new operators never put up their own sign and turned the space into what she called a shady massage parlor offering sex . Coverage of the arrest itself led with Blodywon’s history β an ex-con whose prior rape conviction arose, like this killing, at a Flushing massage business .
Current Status
As of November 10, 2026, Blodywon is in custody charged with murder, robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon; his arraignment in the murder case was pending Tuesday, attorney information was not immediately available, and he has made no public statement . The victim’s identity has been withheld pending family notification; authorities said her family is out of the country and had not yet been notified of her death . He is charged, not convicted, and the investigation is ongoing . His previous prison term ended with a parole release in October 2024, with supervision scheduled to run until 2034 .
Impact on Their Career/Life
Blodywon had been free for barely a year when he was charged in the killing: state corrections records show his May 2016 to October 2024 prison term covered the burglary and rape convictions, and his return to custody now leaves him facing decades to life in prison if convicted, while his parole supervision was set to run through 2034 . The charges re-anchor his public record to the same Flushing corridor where his 2012 rape conviction arose β a parallel that dominated coverage of his arrest . Whether he is formally arraigned this week, obtains counsel, or faces additional counts is not yet publicly known .
