Felix Verdejo charged in killing of Keishla Rodriguez The case of the once so promising Felix Verdejo is a deeply shocking one, writes Matt Christie HUNDREDS of people gathered on a bridge in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday morning and demanded justice. Beneath them was the lagoon where the body of 27-year-old Keishla Rodriguez had been discovered the day before. It is alleged she was pregnant with boxer Felix Verdejo’s child. The lightweight, a star of the 2012 Olympics and not so long ago regarded as the best prospect in the sport, is now in custody, charged with kidnapping, carjacking resulting in the death of Rodriguez and intentionally killing an unborn child. He could face the death penalty if he is found guilty.
