A former felon cut loose from the slammer less than a year ago has been charged with the murder of another man in a New York City apartment. Then he chopped up the man and left his head in a freezer, Hamas-style.
Sheldon Johnson, 48, isn't just an alleged killer and a felon, he's also a prominent criminal justice reform advocate, suggesting that people who go to prison want nice accoutrements just like the everybody else. He was interviewed by Joe Rogan last month and he works with the Queens Defenders legal group.
Johnson is now being accused of shooting his 44-year-old nemesis Collin Small in his Small Bronx apartment last Tuesday. Cops arrived at the Small apartment at around 10 p.m. and initially only found Small's torso sans head.
There were two disembodied feet under the torso in a plastic bin at the scene, according to Fox 5 New York. In Johnson's apartment in Harlem, police said they found Small's head, legs and one arm stuffed into a freezer. It was like a Silence of the Lambs moment for the cops.
New York Department of Corrections records show Johnson and Small both served prison time.
Neighbors overheard a man begging for mercy shortly before two gunshots rattled the apartment building, where Johnson was allegedly seen coming and going multiple times in different disguises after the murder, according to the New York Post.
"Please don't," a man begged, according to the paper. "I have a family."
The suspected killer has been busy since getting out of prison last year, working as an advocate with the Queens Defenders, one of several public defenders groups that begged for hundreds of millions of dollars in increased funding last year, according to the Daily News, "New York's picture newspaper" for people who can't read.
The group also touted a City University of New York School of Law professor, Steven Zeidman, last month for his work getting clemency for Johnson.
On his Instagram, Johnson shared a photograph of himself smiling and shaking the hand of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Bragg's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment mainly due to their frenetic effort to keep former President Trump from being able to run for a second presidential term.
On the Rogan podcast, Johnson said he was released from prison on May 4 after serving 25 years and 5 months for multiple armed robberies.
Although he claimed to have risen to the top of the inmate hierarchy, he lied and said he reformed himself in prison. After getting out, he said he went on an airplane for the first time, and he had an epiphany.
"I had this analogy in my head when I was up in the clouds, and I'm looking down, and I said to myself, I said, I just came from the bowels of hell, spending 25 years in prison, and now I'm in the sky above the clouds in heaven."
Then he allegedly killed Small.
He is being held without bail in a New York City jail on a second-degree murder charge.
His next court date is March 11.
Queens Defenders obviously had nothing to say on the matter.
