- FBI accuses Olympian of killing Keishla Rodriguez, 27
- Boxer and attorneys have declined to comment on allegations
Boxer Félix Verdejo turned himself in to federal agents on Sunday night to face charges just hours after authorities identified the body of a dead woman as a 27-year-old believed to be pregnant with his child, officials have said.
A criminal complaint filed by the FBI accuses Verdejo of punching Keishla Rodriguez in the face and injecting her with a syringe filled with an unidentified substance bought at a public housing complex. It alleges that he then bound her arms and feet with wire and tied a heavy block to her before throwing her off a bridge at 8.30am on Thursday. The complaint states that Verdejo then shot at Rodriguez’s body as he stood on the bridge.
