Who is German Reynoso? Man, 57, wanted for fatally shooting NYC mom, 50, leaving body in bloody bathtub
NEW YORK CITY: The police are on the lookout for the potentially “armed and dangerous” boyfriend of a 50-year-old mom who was found fatally shot and stabbed in the bathtub of her New York City apartment.
Ramona Rodriguez-Reynoso was found dead by officers at around 10 pm on Friday, April 23 with a gunshot wound on her head in a bathtub full of blood. The wound on her head was so severe that the police team initially thought that she had been attacked with a machete. Rodriguez-Reynoso was pronounced dead at the scene in her Washington Heights apartment on the sixth floor of West 167th St near Audubon Ave. It is not clear if she was shot in the tub or her body had been moved there after her death. She was a mother of two children and used to live with her boyfriend of 30 years, German Reynoso, 57. Reynoso was being sought for questioning on Saturday, April 24 night.

“It appears to be a domestic dispute,” a police source told the New York Post. Neighbors stated that they heard cries of “pain and shock” around the time that the body was discovered. “You always think it’s going to happen somewhere else not near you. It’s very sad,” a tenant named Ines told the Post. “We were here and maybe she was asking for help and nobody listened. This s**t is shocking,” another family friend added. “I know the two of them my entire life. It’s unbelievable. It’s shocking to me. She was a good person. I saw no problems. I’ve never seen no fighting.” Rodriguez-Reynoso’s neighbor, Eva Diaz, 59, described her as “very nice.” “She was a very good person,” Diaz added of her friend of 30 years.
