A man drove his girlfriend’s body around town before turning himself in at a South Miami-Dade police department Sunday morning, according to investigators.
After riding around for a while, Alexander Roque, 48, finally stopped at Florida City’s city hall, located at 404 W Palm Dr., where he surrendered at the nearby police department. Jail records indicate Roque was arrested shortly after 9:45 a.m.
He’s now facing a second-degree murder charge.
Miami-Dade police, which handles murder investigations in Florida City, said they couldn’t confirm how the woman died — nor what led up to her death. Roque is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, jail records show.
Anyone with information about the killing should contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
This report will be updated as more information becomes available.
