A woman was stabbed to death Friday, the 6th, at a massage parlor near 164th Street in Flushing, Queens, and a 54-year-old man was charged Monday, the 9th, with murder and other offenses. The suspect was paroled in October 2024 after serving time for raping a worker at another Flushing massage parlor in 2012. As of Tuesday evening, the 10th, the victim had not been identified.
According to the New York Post, Zhordrack Blodywon, 54, a homeless man, was charged Monday with murder for allegedly stabbing a woman to death at a massage parlor near 164th Street and Crocheron Avenue in Flushing, Queens. He also faces weapons possession and robbery charges. The slain woman has not yet been identified.
Police said a 911 call came in around 4:30 p.m. Friday reporting an unconscious victim with "severe bleeding." Responding officers found a woman stabbed multiple times in the head and body, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Law enforcement officials said the suspect does not appear to have known the victim. The suspect was arrested at an intersection in East Elmhurst, about 4 miles (about 6.4 kilometers) from the scene. What was taken has not been confirmed, and as of Tuesday, no arraignment had been held following the murder charge.
The suspect has multiple prior convictions. The New York Post reported that he was reported at the time to have been accused of raping a 55-year-old woman who worked at a massage parlor near Union Street and Northern Boulevard in Flushing on Oct. 17, 2012. According to police, three days later he also robbed another massage parlor on the same street of two cell phones at gunpoint. State corrections records show he was in state prison for more than eight years, from May 2016 to October 2024, on theft and rape convictions before being paroled, and his post-release supervision ends in 2034. Police also said he has a record of arrests on possession, arson and stolen property possession charges, as well as a 2010 arrest in Queens on a rape charge, but did not disclose how those cases were resolved.
Jessica Kang, owner of Skin Sarang, which previously operated at the site of the incident, said in an email that she relocated a year ago and claimed that the business that moved in afterward operated without putting up a new sign, with only half of her logo torn off. Kang wrote that the business had turned into an "illicit massage parlor" offering sexual services. This claim is a statement from the former owner, not a police announcement.
