Sandra Coto Navarro, a 48-year-old woman, is facing accusations of murdering Jose Portillo, the superintendent of her apartment building. The gruesome details of the crime have left the community in shock and disbelief. It is alleged that Navarro struck Portillo on the head and then proceeded to stab him in the neck and leg. His remains were later found stuffed in a trash bag and hidden under a bed in the residential building located in the Queens borough of New York City.
According to reports, the motive for this heinous act was a dispute over unpaid rent. Navarro and her husband owed a staggering amount of $24,000 in back rent that had been accumulating for several years. Portillo, being the superintendent, had been trying to collect the money, which ultimately resulted in his tragic demise. The discovery of his body on Wednesday by the police has left the community reeling with shock and grief.
On Thursday, as Navarro was being escorted out of the 107 Precinct by the New York Police Department, a woman claiming to be Portillo's ex-wife stood outside the building where the crime took place. With tears in her eyes, she expressed her disbelief and devastation, saying, "It's crazy. I want to see her, the one who hit him, the one who killed him. I want to see her." She went on to describe Portillo as a kind and helpful person who always lent a helping hand to those in need.
CCTV footage from the building showed that Navarro's husband had arrived at the apartment just 20 minutes before the police arrived for a wellness check. The husband then led the police directly to the body, which raised suspicions and ultimately led to his release from custody. Investigators found that he was not present at the time of the murder, and the surveillance clips proved his innocence.
As the investigation continues, the police have been seen carrying bags of evidence out of the building, and it has been determined that Portillo's cause of death was homicidal violence. Navarro has been charged with second-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence, and criminal possession of a weapon in connection to the death.
This tragic incident has left the neighbors in shock and disbelief. Many of them have described Portillo as a kind and caring man, and they are struggling to come to terms with his sudden and violent death. One neighbor, Allison Atlas, expressed her shock, saying, "None of us can believe this. We all cared about him, we all liked him! He was a nice guy, a really nice guy. If I ever even mentioned anything, he was so thoughtful and helpful."
It is a sad reality that just a year and a half ago, Navarro was arrested for allegedly murdering her landlord in Texas and then renting out his home and collecting payments from new tenants. This latest incident has not only taken the life of an innocent man but has also reopened old wounds and raised questions about the justice system. The community is left mourning the loss of a kind and caring man, and they hope that justice will be served for Jose Portillo.
