Queens man arrested in slaying of former Memphian Jamaica Smith

A Queens, N.Y., man was arrested today and charged with the murder of a Memphis woman who moved to the New York City borough in June, according to The New York Post.

Jamaica Smith, a 36-year-old hair stylist, disappeared the day before Thanksgiving after dropping off her 6-year-old daughter, Jailyn, at school. Her body was discovered Monday morning at a vacant home on Long Island. The Post cited sources as saying she had been strangled.

Sources said it was unclear what led Nassau County police to the suspect, Marvyn Jemmott, 35. The sources also told The Post that Smith was the mother of Jemmott's child.
