Burning body discovered in New York shopping cart, additional remains found in apartment
A body was reportedly found burning inside a shopping cart along a sidewalk in Yonkers, New York, and was later connected to additional remains inside an apartment in the Bronx.
The victim was discovered on a sidewalk near the Oak Street Bridge over the Bronx River Parkway shortly before 2 a.m. on Monday, Yonkers Police wrote on social media.
The Westchester County Department of Public Safety and the Mount Vernon Fire Department were responding to a report of a fire before finding a deceased body once the flames were extinguished.
After arriving at the scene, Yonkers Police located the body in the shopping chart. The Yonkers Police Department then opened a death investigation and later ruled the incident a homicide. The department discovered that the place where the body was found was merely a “dump site” despite the location being inside Yonkers.

The investigation was turned over to the New York City Police Department and the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office.
The victim was believed to have been killed inside the apartment on Rogers Place in Longwood in the Bronx before most of the body was allegedly placed in a shopping cart, transported on the Melrose MetroNorth train station a few stops north to Mount Vernon West and left on the Oak Street Bridge in Yonkers, where it was set on fire, officials told CBS New York.
Investigators used surveillance video to trace the suspects on a train to Yonkers and back to the Bronx, according to the outlet. The NYPD executed a search warrant Monday night at the apartment, where they discovered parts of a body, including hands and teeth.

The victim’s identity is still unknown, as investigators are struggling to figure out who they were and how they died since the body was burned so badly, according to CBS New York.
The case remains under investigation.

Will the Boston Red Sox cut ties with Aroldis Chapman before the 2026 Major League Baseball trade deadline?
That’s going to be the biggest question hanging over the organization ahead of the deadline if the Red Sox aren’t able to fully turn their season around. After taking down the New York Yankees on Friday, Boston has a 27-35 record. The Red Sox’s contest against the Yankees was postponed on Saturday and the two American League East rivals will conclude their brief series at Yankee Stadium on Sunday.
Boston clearly has a lot of work to do right now. With the club currently struggling in the standings, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale wrote that Chapman is “expected” to join his eighth different team this summer and get moved.
What Will Boston Do With Aroldis Chapman?
“Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is expected to join his eighth different team, and potentially be in the postseason with his sixth different team,” Nightengale wrote. “He is the top reliever available on every contender’s target list, converting 28 consecutive saves dating back to last season, one shy of his career record.”
If the Red Sox are eight games below .500 at the beginning of August, like they are now, then this idea unfortunately, would make sense. But it’s important to note that on Saturday, The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey reported that Boston has fielded calls on Chapman, Justin Slaten, and Garrett Whitlock but has told teams that the trio currently isn’t available. The idea of Chapman being moved is fully contingent on whether the Red Sox can make progress in the standings over the next two months.
Right now, the Red Sox are just three games out of an American League Wild Card spot, so it’s not the craziest idea in the world to believe they can make up some ground here. Plus, let’s not forget that some point Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony will be able to return.
So, right now, the Red Sox are in a tough spot, which gives some life to Nightengale’s point, but it’s still a bit too early to fully jump to conclusions. If the Red Sox can go on a little run, then all of a sudden the perception will shift around Boston. If not, then the club will end up getting a haul in exchange for Chapman if the club actually does end up moving him before the deadline.
