Nashan Walsh Arrested & Charged – How Did He Kill Bjana James? Boyfriend Jail Sentence Revealed

Nashan Walsh, 35, her boyfriend, was apprehended and charged with her murder.

He was found on Saturday in the Betances Houses NYCHA building on East 147th Street in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx, according to authorities.

There isn’t much information about his personal life. Because the incident occurred so recently, officers may have concealed it for security reasons.

Nashan Walsh was detained on suspicion of killing his girlfriend Bjana James, who was discovered dead with her throat slit days after telling relatives she was afraid of her partner, according to police.

According to cops, he was arrested on Saturday and charged with the murder of mother-of-two Bjana James, who her brother discovered with a fatal knife wound inside her apartment in the Bronx’s Betances Houses.

According to relatives who gathered for a vigil outside James’ apartment earlier this week, the deceased woman told a family member that her boyfriend was acting suspiciously and that she was afraid for her life.

James stopped responding to texts on Wednesday night, according to his relatives.

It’s unclear whether Walsh is the boyfriend referred to by the relative.

On Saturday, police apprehended Nashan Walsh and charged him with the murder of Bjana James, a mother of two.

According to police, he has 11 prior unsealed arrests dating back to 1995, the majority of which are for robbery and assault.

He has a history of being both a perpetrator and a victim of domestic violence, according to cops.

Bjana may or may not have been involved in any previous incidents.

Nashan Walsh doesn’t seem to have children; however, Bjana James has an 8-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son. 

Their true identities are still unknown; the children must be heartbroken as they lost their mother very early age.

At her death, her children were living with their maternal grandmother.
