    Other guys just man-up and accepts the paternity and its responsibilities. Other punks think the only way out is murder. Verdejo might face the death penalty if found guilty of all charges.

    Here's a comprehensive account of the case so far from the NY Times: Boxer Charged in Killing of Pregnant Woman Found in Puerto Rican Lagoon

    Boxer Charged in Killing of Pregnant Woman Found in Puerto Rican Lagoon
    Félix Verdejo Sánchez, who competed at the 2012 Olympic Games, surrendered after the body of Keishla Rodríguez Ortiz was found near San Juan, the authorities said.

    The Puerto Rican boxer Félix Verdejo Sánchez turned himself in to law enforcement officials on the island on Sunday evening and is facing charges of killing a pregnant woman whose body washed up in a lagoon on Saturday, the authorities said.

    According to a federal complaint, Mr. Verdejo, a lightweight boxer who represented Puerto Rico at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, is accused of punching the woman, injecting her with “substances,” tying her body to a block and throwing her from a bridge into the water.


    The woman, Keishla Rodríguez Ortiz, disappeared on Friday. Her body was found on Saturday and was identified through dental records, the Institute of Forensic Science in Puerto Rico said on Sunday. The police said in a missing person’s report that Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz had last spoken with her mother about 7 a.m. local time on Thursday.

    The authorities quickly identified Mr. Verdejo, 27, as a person of interest in Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz’s disappearance. He was seen on Friday walking out of the San Juan Criminal Investigation Corps headquarters, according to reports in the Puerto Rican news media. Capt. Luis Díaz Muñoz of the criminal investigation corps told the newspaper El Nuevo Día that Mr. Verdejo was not cooperating with investigators.

    According to the federal criminal complaint, Mr. Verdejo is facing charges of kidnapping resulting in death, carjacking resulting in death and killing an unborn child. The charges carry a maximum penalty of death, though no decision has been made on whether to pursue that penalty, according to federal prosecutors.

    In the complaint, the Federal Bureau of Investigation relied on information from a witness whom the agency describes as a person “with firsthand, personal knowledge” of what took place.

    Mr. Verdejo, according to this account, contacted the witness “and requested his help to terminate the pregnancy,” the complaint said. The witness cooperated.

    Mr. Verdejo and Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz met on Thursday morning in Mr. Verdejo’s black Durango S.U.V. At one point while inside the vehicle, Mr. Verdejo punched her in the face “and she was injected with a syringe filled with substances,” which were not specified in the complaint. Then, Mr. Verdejo and the witness tied her hands and feet with wire. They also tied a block to her, according to the complaint, and loaded her body into the vehicle she had driven to meet Mr. Verdejo.

    The witness and Mr. Verdejo drove both vehicles onto the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge, which spans the San Jose Lagoon, near San Juan. According to the complaint, they tossed Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz into the water. Then, Mr. Verdejo shot at her with a pistol from the bridge, according to the complaint.


    The two men abandoned Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz’s vehicle, which was found a day later. Law enforcement officials were able to use cellphone data to piece together where Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz had traveled and with whom she had spoken before she disappeared, according to the complaint.

    The information from Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz’s phone led law enforcement officials to Mr. Verdejo, and the bridge, the complaint said. Surveillance video from the bridge shows a dark S.U.V. similar to Mr. Verdejo’s parking on the emergency lane of the bridge. It also shows “visible movement of at least one individual on the side of the vehicle.”

    Mr. Verdejo was in custody on Sunday evening and is expected to make his initial court appearance on Monday, according to a spokeswoman for the F.B.I.

    It was not immediately clear on Sunday evening if Mr. Verdejo had a lawyer. He could not be reached for comment.

    Mr. Verdejo’s boxing record is 27-2, with 17 knockouts, according to Top Rank, a boxing promotion company in Las Vegas. Top Rank, which lists Mr. Verdejo as one of its fighters, did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

    “The thoughts and prayers of Top Rank are with the family and friends of Keishla Marlen Rodríguez Ortiz, and with the people of Puerto Rico in this moment of mourning,” the company said in a statement on Saturday night. “We are profoundly disturbed by the news and will continue to monitor the evolution of the case as it progresses.”

    Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz’s mother, Keila Ortiz Rivera, told El Nuevo Día that when she last spoke with her daughter on Thursday morning, Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz told her that Mr. Verdejo was on his way to meet her to look at the results of a pregnancy test she had taken.

    “I told her ‘Be careful’ because he had threatened her not to have the baby, that he had his family, that he is a boxer, that he is a public figure,” Ms. Ortiz Rivera told El Nuevo Día.

    Ms. Ortiz Rivera said she received a call at about 9:30 a.m. from her other daughter, who told her that Ms. Rodríguez Ortiz’s boss had called to say she had not shown up for work.

    “For me, that was super strange because she is very responsible about her job,” Ms. Ortiz Rivera said.

    Ms. Ortiz Rivera said she called Mr. Verdejo to ask about her daughter, and he said he did not know where she was.

    “You’re lying to me — that’s the first lie,” Ortiz Rivera recalled telling him. “She talked to me a little while ago, and told me that you were going to her house when you were done working out.”

    Apparently Verdejo and the victim had a years long relationship. She was working class girl with a job at a beauty parlor and was well liked by everyone that knew her. This wasn't any low life hoe. Verdejo will most likely get killed in jail as some prison gangs don't tolerate scumbags that murder innocent women.

    If thread titles can be edited, it's time to remove the "might" from this thread. :Jest:

    So his ‘buddy’ whom helped perpetrate this ghastly deed took all of about 2 hours to turn on Felix and start talking to save his own ass before Felix tries to somehow (hopelessly no doubt) turn it around and get all finger-pointy back at this guy.

    Only outstanding question for me is what role the wife had. I wouldn’t be too surprised to find she blew a gasket and set an ultimatum with this as the preferred option. The thought of splitting Felix’ modest earnings with questionable upside for the next 18+ years I’m sure had her seeing red.

    You would think that thread titles can be edited - but I cant do that. I've tried.

    I would have to create a new thread with an updated title, then merge this one into it - I dont see the point in doing that - as the whole boxing world knows about this news now.

    You have to be some sort of Reverse CUCK to allow the mother of some of your kids harm the mother of another of your kids, and the kid itself.

    Severe reverse cuckery going on there.

    Just call him Felix "Ver Luego" Verdejo

    As in see you much much later.

    This ain't a courtroom, you ain't gotta say "allegedly". The bitch ass n!gga killed her.

    And correct. She was only beaten up and drugged when he tossed her in. Meaning she drowned, but hopefully she was unconscious while drowning.

    She seems a nice if daft girl. Working in a dog grooming place. What threat could she have been to anyone? A financial burden, that's it.

    My belief is the scummy wife ordered that her "dignity" be preserved and dum-dum the boxer obliged.

    Dust off old Sparky. Give them the Rosenberg treatment. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    Unless I'm wrong, wouldn't this be history?

    Would Pendejo become the first world-class athlete in US history sentenced to death?

    I've heard that the wife's family, and by family I presume her kingpin dad, threatened Pendejo once they found out he got the girl pregnant.

    He won't get old sparky though. I think it's extremely rare that old sparky is used in the US anymore.

    He'll get lethal injection.

    Yup, no talent wife, "Influence", fake titties, fake eyelashes, real low class.

    These fucking people should be doing laundry in a rich persons house, or doing time in the armed services, ironing 1000 pillowcases a day, keep them out of trouble.

    I am all for upward mobility and a chance in life, but some people are just trashy and low.

    No idea but i would hazard a guess that some other athletes committed felonies that could have carried the death penalty.

    U.S. law is so strange though. How can something as serious as the death penalty be off the table at state level but allowed at a federal one?

    I'm pretty sure I came across (purely by chance) the name of a HW fighter from the '40s who ended up on death row and was executed.

    Anthony Fletcher (Frank "The Animal" Fletcher's brother) was on death row for decades, but recently had the charges downgraded and was released:

    He spent years on death row. Now, a former Philly boxer will be released from prison.

    The fighter I was thinking of here was Henry "Snow" Flakes, who scored wins over HW contenders Pat Comiskey and Lee Oma in 1948 may have briefly entered the rankings himself before being forced to retire that same year because of cataracts: https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/39839

    Here's an article about him for anyone who may be interested:

    I think I'd prefer the death penalty over life without parole to be honest with you.

    Weird because this is a case that checks every box for the death penalty. Surprised he got off.

    Now he gets to sit in prison for the rest of his life on tax payers' dime.
