SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. — A 19-year-old from New Jersey has been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly beating two women to death inside a New York apartment, just hours after posting dancing videos on TikTok.

Alan “Alena” Abad was taken into custody on Sunday and charged with first-degree murder, the Spring Valley Police Department announced.

Officers responded to a welfare check at an apartment complex on Gesner Drive around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday. Inside, they found two adult women with severe head injuries. One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other died at Westchester Medical Center.

Authorities identified Abad, of Westwood, New Jersey, as the prime suspect. The arrest came within 24 hours, though police have not disclosed where Abad was taken into custody.

Abad, who identifies as a woman named “Alena,” reportedly posted videos on TikTok moments before the grisly murder.
