The ex-boyfriend of a woman who was found shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave in Queens over the weekend has been charged with murder, according to police.

Rogelio Lozano-Garita, 26, was charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon, concealment of a human corpse, and tampering with physical evidence on Tuesday, police said.

The body of 35-year-old Seraphina Pereira, a mother of three, was discovered near a cricket field in the Edgemere neighborhood in the Rockaways just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, officials said. On Monday, the city’s chief medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, and said that she had been shot in the head, neck and torso.

Police said Pereira’s ex-boyfriend, Lozano-Garita, was taken into custody Monday.

The NYPD said Pereira was reported missing from her home in NYCHA’s Ocean Bay apartments on the morning of Oct. 19. Her body was found about half a mile away from where she lived.
