Two suspects, Arnaldo Cintron and Giselle Santiago Bonilla, have been arrested in connection with a murder investigation in St. Petersburg, Florida. Following a witness tip, detectives found the body of Hiojaira Velez Bonilla near a nature preserve. Cintron is charged with first-degree murder while Santiago Bonilla is charged as an accomplice.

St. Petersburg, Florida – Two individuals were arrested on Monday in connection with a murder investigation following a tip from a witness. Arnaldo Cintron, 42, and Giselle Santiago Bonilla, 37, are now facing serious charges after law enforcement discovered a body in the vicinity of a nature preserve.
The investigation began when a witness approached the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) on Friday, stating that they had witnessed a murder taking place on Maybrook Avenue. This prompted a collaborative investigation by the St. Petersburg Police Department and the HCSO.
On Sunday, detectives located a body near the Weedon Island Preserve, situated off the Gandy Bridge. The deceased was later identified as Hiojaira Velez Bonilla, 42. Investigators believe that during an altercation, Cintron allegedly stabbed Hiojaira Bonilla, and Santiago Bonilla assisted in the subsequent disposal of the body.
Authorities issued arrest warrants on Sunday, leading to the capture of Cintron and Santiago Bonilla on Monday near the 1000 block of Parsons Street. Cintron has been charged with first-degree murder, while Santiago Bonilla is facing charges as an accomplice.
HCSO Sheriff Chad Chronister pointed out the senselessness of the crime and affirmed that those responsible will be held accountable and face justice.
Ongoing Investigations
The investigation surrounding this incident is still active, with further updates expected from HCSO as more information becomes available. The authorities are diligently working to ensure all aspects of the case are thoroughly examined.
In a related series of events, a fourth suspect, 19-year-old D’antrell Davis, has been arrested for a separate shooting incident that resulted in the murder of 39-year-old Reginald Booth on July 29. Booth was found with multiple gunshot wounds on the 1200 block of 9th Avenue South and later succumbed to his injuries in the hospital.
Additionally, three other suspects have been implicated in Booth’s murder: 18-year-old Larrion Boyd, 19-year-old Keshaun Lamb, and 31-year-old Dnerius McCullough, who was apprehended with the assistance of U.S. Marshals in Riverview. All suspects involved in Booth’s case face felony murder and kidnapping charges, further complicating the local crime landscape.
Communities on Alert
The happenings have raised concerns within the community, prompting calls for vigilance and cooperation with local law enforcement. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activities and assist in maintaining safety in St. Petersburg.
The law enforcement agencies involved have ensured that investigations into both murder cases are ongoing, with additional updates anticipated as investigators continue to gather evidence and interview potential witnesses.
Authorities remain committed to serving justice for the victims and their families, as the community grapples with the impact of these violent incidents.
