The murder of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia

Oleas-Arancibia had been beaten and strangled. Her body was discovered on the floor under a blanket by a hotel maid on February 8. A spokesperson for the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner told New York Post that her manner of death was officially determined to be homicide. Her cause of death was compression of the neck and blunt force trauma.

After the murder, a surveillance photo showed Almansoori wearing leggings that belonged to Oleas-Arancibia.

The victim was hit with an iron rod. “A broken iron was recovered at the scene and recovered bits of plastic that were found embedded inside of her skull,” Kenny said.

Police believe Almansoori left the hotel wearing Oleas-Arancibia’s leggings because his clothes were too bloody. He has an extensive out-of-state arrest history, the NYPD has said.

Almansoori was arrested in Arizona, where he is accused of two stabbings. “While in the custody of Arizona law enforcement, he informs them that he is wanted for homicide in New York City and tells the cops that they should Google ‘SoHo 54 Hotel,'” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said, according to CBS News.

It is believed that Almansoori arrived in New York City in late January. His credit card use shows he later purchased a plane ticket to Arizona.
