TRENTON -- Police arrested David Lopez, 28, yesterday on charges of killing Gladiz Polanco-Ramos, 33, his girlfriend, whose unclothed body was found in a waste disposal bin on Freudenmacher Alley last Thursday.
Police arrested Lopez at a residence in Fairview yesterday morning. He also was charged with tampering with evidence for allegedly attempting to dispose of the body, according to a police statement.
Lopez was apprehended by Detective Sgt. Luddie Austin, who worked in conjunction with the U.S. Marshall's New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force in the manhunt, according to authorities.
At the time of Polanco-Ramos' death, the couple had been living together on Roebling Avenue. Police recovered the woman's body following an anonymous tip that led them to the trash container.
Subsequently, Lopez was named a suspect in the woman's death and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Lopez is being held on $1 million bail, according to police.
The cause of death in the case, the seventh homicide in Trenton this year, has not been released.
Detective Edgar Rios and Detective Bryan Cottrell also have worked on the investigation.
