The man who became known as the macheté robber now is accused of murder.

Howard York, 44, is being held without bond after El Paso County Sheriff’s deputies obtained an arrest warrant accusing him of first-degree murder in connection with the death of 32-year-old Crysta Chisholm.

The body of Chisholm, a mother of four, was found wrapped in a quilt and stuffed under York’s trailer in the El Paso Mobile Home Community, 15 El Paso Blvd. near Manitou Springs on March 12.

At the time her body was discovered, York was in jail following his arrest for the Jan. 30 robbery of a west-side pizza restaurant in which he held a macheté to an employee’s throat, threatening him.

York pleaded guilty to the robbery in June and was sentenced to 17 years in prison. But there was no mention of the Chisholm death in his robbery plea.

The arrest in the Chisholm case came Aug. 15, more than five months after York’s brother, Alvin York, made the gruesome discovery of the quilt-wrapped body as he was preparing to move the trailer, which was being evicted from the park.

No details of the cause of death were released Wednesday. Nor did authorities discuss how long they believe the body was under the trailer. At the time the body was discovered, York had already been in jail for more than a month for his robbery arrest.

On Aug. 16, a day after Howard York was arrested for the Chisholm death, deputies arrested 44-year-old Daniel Trujillo on suspicion of accessory to first degree murder. He is being held at the El Paso County jail on a $500,000 bond.

Chisholm’s family members told the Gazette in March that she had struggled with drugs and alcohol for much of her life. She was mother to four children – three who live in the Widefield area with their father’s parents — and another older child who lived in North Carolina with his father.

Dora Williams, grandmother to the oldest child, told the Gazette in March that Chisholm only sporadically contacted her children because of her personal issues. Still, Williams said, Chisholm deserved justice.

“No matter what kind of mother she was, she was a human,” she said. “She was somebody’s daughter.”

In March, Alvin York, said his brother had issues with drugs and alcohol as well and he said Howard could be belligerent when under the influence.

In March, he contemplated whether his brother was capable of murder.

“Under the influence, he wasn’t a nice person anymore,” Alvin York said. “He would like to fight people. He would find the biggest guy in the bar and have fun with him.”
