Happy Friday Goode People!☺️
On Friday a jury found Felix Verdejo, 30, guilty of kidnapping resulting in death and the intentional killing of an unborn child. Felix Verdejo represented Puerto Rico at the 2012 Olympics.
Verdejo and partner in crime, Cadiz-Martinez, abducted Keishla Rodriguez Ortiz on April 29, 2021, after she was lured into a Dodge Durango in San Jose, PR. Once inside the car Verdejo attacked her and injected her with drugs. She was then tied, with metal wire, to a cement block and thrown from the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge into the San Jose Lagoon.
An autopsy determined Rodríguez Ortiz had fentanyl and xylazine, a sedative used for horses and other animals, in her system.
Rodriguez Ortiz had been involved in an extra-marital affair with Verdejo. It is believed that she was pregnant with his child at the time of the killing.
Verdejo is now eligible to be sentenced to multiple 99-year prison terms. There is no death penalty in Puerto Rico. Cadiz-Martinez may receive up to 30 years in prison. However, his sentence will likely be reduced after he agreed to testify against Verdejo. Verdejo and Cadiz-Martinez are due to be sentenced on November 3.
