Queens man Rogelio Lozano-Garita was arraigned on a murder charge on Wednesday after his girlfriend's body was discovered in a beach grave at Rockaway Community Park, days after he reported her missing, prosecutors announced.
Seraphina Pereira, 35, lived with Lozano-Garita, 26, in Edgemere alongside their two young children and her child from a previous relationship. Prosecutors allege he shot her on 19 October, then transported her body to the park and buried it before calling police on 21 October.
