Pleasantville Man Indicted for Girlfriend’s Murder, Evidence Tampering in Atlantic County

Pleasantville, NJ – A local man faces murder and tampering with evidence charges following the death of his live-in girlfriend last year, officials said. The Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office announced that a grand jury has indicted 26-year-old Boris Lainez-Rosales in the murder of 25-year-old Leslianet Quintana-Betancourt, which occurred in December.

Authorities responded to a 911 call just before 2 am on December 2, reporting an unresponsive woman at a Pleasantville residence. Upon arrival, emergency medical teams rushed Quintana-Betancourt to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Investigations led by Pleasantville Police along with the Prosecutor’s Major Crime Unit unearthed evidence suggesting that Lainez-Rosales inflicted multiple blunt-force injuries on Quintana-Betancourt that resulted in her death. Following the investigation, Lainez-Rosales was arrested and is currently held at the Atlantic County Jail.

As of now, the court has not scheduled a date for his trial. The charges have brought a reminder to the public that the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty by the court.
