Queens Man Eyed In Slay Of Grad Student

A Queens bouncer who worked in the bar where Imette St. Guillen was last seen alive is being eyed as a potential suspect in her slaying, according to police.
Darryl Littlejohn, 41, an ex-convict, arrested on March 7 for violating parole and being held without bail, was seen speaking to St. Guillen in the Falls Bar in SoHo shortly before her murder. Witnesses also claim he was seen in a van with the victim on February 25.
Police say that Littlejohn’s cell phone records also place him in Brooklyn at approximately 6 a.m. An anonymous tip from a male calling from a payphone told police of the discovery of the 24-year-old’s body in Brooklyn off the Belt Parkway.
Officers of the 75th Precinct seized Littlejohn’s van and another van and searched his home, where they believe St. Guillen was killed.
St. Guillen, a John Jay College graduate student, was raped, tortured and suffocated before being dumped in a secluded area in East New York. Her face had been wrapped in tape and her naked body was rolled in a floral-patterned blanket.
There is a $42,000 reward in connection with her slaying.
