The partially decomposed body of Shonnette Dover, the Linden woman who was reported missing four weeks ago, was on Friday morning found buried in a shallow grave in the backyard of her boyfriend, who is now wanted by police for allegedly shooting and killing her.
According to the police, a 15-year-old, who allegedly witnessed the killing, gave investigators information that subsequently led to the discovery of the body in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The teen is in custody while an arrest warrant was issued for Dover’s boy-friend, Shaquawn Alleyne. Alleyne’s father, who is alleged to have helped to cover up the woman’s death, was also taken into custody.
