Puerto Rican boxer Felix Verdejo turned himself in to federal agents Sunday night, hours after a body found in a lagoon Saturday was identified as that of his pregnant lover, Keishla Rodriguez.

An FBI criminal complaint alleges that the 27-year-old Verdejo, who is married and has a young daughter, punched Rodriguez in the face and injected her with an unidentified substance, then bound her arms and feet and tied her to a heavy block before throwing her off a bridge Thursday morning.

He then allegedly shot at her body from the bridge.
