Arnaldo Antonio Cintron, 42, is accused of fatally stabbing Hiojaira Mercedes Velez-Bonilla before forcing her boyfriend to help dispose of her body and humiliating him by making him wear the victim’s clothing, according to a Hillsborough County, Florida affidavit.
These details emerged after the witness, who was romantically involved with the victim at the time of her death, walked into the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s District II office on August 15 to report the murder. The boyfriend’s identity has not been disclosed by law enforcement.
