PICTURED: Murder suspect who fled Soho hotel wearing female victim’s LuluLemon leggings after ‘beating her to death with an iron’

Chilling surveillance footage captured a man suspected of beating a mother with an iron in a New York City hotel room, fleeing the scene wearing her blood-spattered LuluLemon leggings.

The unknown murder suspect appeared to put on the victim’s leggings after police said a pair of bloodied men’s pants were found next to the body of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia, which was discovered last week by SoHo 54 Hotel staff.

When staff discovered her body on the morning of February 8, the 38-year-old was lying under a blanket and next to a broken iron, having checked in the day before.

The creepy surveillance photo shows the suspect walking down a well-lit Manhattan street at night, wearing light-colored women’s leggings, a black hoodie and a tan jacket.

Oleas-Arancibia died of neck compression and blunt head trauma, a spokesperson for the city medical examiner’s office said

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny related New York Post that investigators are looking for information about the suspect, and describe the leggings as ‘distinctive’.

“We have a video of the woman arriving at the location wearing unusual leggings and later we see a man leaving the hotel wearing the same leggings and we also have men’s trousers in the hotel room. There was blood all over the pants.’

When Kenny was further asked what made the leggings so distinctive, he added, “It’s a man wearing women’s leggings.”

Wellness calls were made to the front desk for Oleas-Arancibia throughout the evening.

The Post reported that an employee entered her room, despite a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the handle, and left after seeing her on the floor under the blanket.

Kenny added: ‘I thought nothing of it and went back downstairs thinking the woman was sleeping on the floor.’

Investigators have not yet identified the man in the leggings, but are using “extensive video” to track down the person of interest, who they are tracking through transactions on the subway system.

Kenny told the outlet that the person used his own credit card to purchase meals and MetroCards.

DailyMail.com revealed earlier this week that detectives believe Oleas-Arancibia, a mother of two, was a sex worker.

Sources said she was seen walking the streets of Roosevelt Avenue in Queens days before her death.

The 38-year-old mother was unresponsive and unconscious when authorities arrived on scene. She was pronounced dead by EMS

A spokesperson for the city medical examiner said Oleas-Arancibia died of compression to her neck and blunt head trauma.

She was unconscious and unresponsive when authorities arrived on the scene. She suffered significant head trauma and was pronounced dead by paramedics.

The woman’s son, 18-year-old Edwin Cevallos, spoke to his mother the day before her death.

Cevallos lived with Oleas-Arancibia and her cousin in an apartment in Queens.

But he said he noticed changes in her behavior a week before the tragedy. “She was so nervous and worried,” Cevallos said the daily news.

The teenager said he was “in shock” and added: “Everything here in New York reminds me of her.” Everything.’

Oleas-Arancibia (pictured left) came to the United States five years ago, leaving behind family, including one of her sons

The Ecuadorian native came to the United States five years ago, leaving behind family, including one of her other sons.

“My mother worked very hard,” said Cevallos, who came to the country with her two years ago.

Although the teen admitted he did not know his mother’s profession, he said she “always worked for us to give us the best life in this country.”

The 18-year-old was waiting to meet her on Thursday morning and called police when he still didn’t see her by 1pm.

Cevallos described his mother as “a very good person” who “always helped people” and “never hurt anyone.”

‘She always paid for everything. She never owed anyone money. She always wanted to help them move forward,” the teen said.

A bloody iron was found near her body. Police also recovered bloody pants with a receipt inside from the hotel room

He explained that his mother had worked tirelessly to achieve the American Dream and provide a better life for her children.

“She gave us the life we ​​always wanted,” Cevallos said.

The last time he saw her was Wednesday morning, when she made him breakfast and paid a barber for his haircut.

Oleas-Arancibia told her son she loved him as he left for school that day.

“She was always happy and having fun,” Cevallos said. “I can’t believe this happened.”

Detectives entered the Manhattan hotel Thursday morning, startling guests staying there for New York Fashion Week.
