A 61-year-old man has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder after he allegedly killed a mother, father and their 1-year-old child in Berks County, Pennsylvania, earlier this month, the district attorney said Monday.
Jose Luis Rodriguez has been charged with first-degree murder, abuse of corpse and other associated charges in connection with the deaths of Geraldina Peguero-Mancebo, 31, Jeyden Junior Peguero, 1, and Junior Cabrera-Colon, 31, Berks County District Attorney John Adams said during a press conference Monday.

Peguero-Mancebo and her 1-year-old son, who were reported missing, were found dead on Sept. 19 and 20 in Ontelaunee Township. Investigators discovered their bodies 150 yards away from each other near East Huller Lane, one week after the actual killings took place.
Adams said Rodriguez admitted he picked up Peguero-Mancebo and her son in a car on Friday, Sept. 12 and that he intended to kill the 31-year-old mother because she wouldn't leave Cabrera-Colon.

Adams said while it's clear Rodriguez had some sort of relationship with Peguero-Mancebo, what it fully entailed is unclear. The two did, however, previously work together at a warehouse. Adams said Rodriguez also had rented an apartment for Peguero-Mancebo.
According to Adams, Rodriguez told investigators he was infuriated because Peguero-Mancebo was allegedly taking his money. He then reportedly admitted to Berks County investigators that he shot her in the back of the head near East Huller Lane. After this, he took 1-year-old Junior Peguero down the street and threw him in a pond and left him to die, Adams said. An autopsy revealed the 1-year-old died from freshwater drowning after mud was discovered in his lungs.
After Peguero-Mancebo and her son were killed, the 61-year-old met with Cabrera-Colon, where the two allegedly argued about Rodriguez's involvement with the 31-year-old mother, Adams said. The argument allegedly turned physical, and Rodriguez told investigators that Cabrera-Colon dropped a gun, which the 61-year-old picked up and used to shoot him in the head.

This needs to be a death penalty case.
 
A Pennsylvania man has admitted to hurling a 1-year-old boy into a pond, killing him, after executing the child's mother because she "did not want to leave her husband" for him. The man murdered the husband a day later and then allegedly contacted the mother's family and pretended to be a worried friend.
"Everyone thought he was helping us until we found out a few days later that it was him," Heinel Medrano, cousin of the slain mother, Geraldina Peguero-Mancebo — who was murdered in September 2025 along with her husband, Junior Cabrera-Colon, and son Jeyden — told local TV station WFMZ after their killer, Jose Luis Rodriguez, was sentenced Tuesday.

"The baby got the worst of it," Medrano said.
Rodriguez, 61, entered a guilty plea for first-degree murder and was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

"We're grateful because it's not a relief, but the closing of a chapter," Medrano told WFMZ. "Breathing the same air as him was so difficult."

This case should have called for the death penalty.
