BSO spokesperson Miranda Grossman said on Jan. 21, Coto went to the Tamarac home of his estranged wife, Trinity Bownes, 31, located in the 8900 block of Northwest 77th Court.
Grossman said the two got into an argument and, at some point, Coto was fatally stabbed.
Brandon Jenkins, 29, of Clarksville, Tennessee, was also involved in the incident, Grossman said. A sheriff’s office news release doesn’t specify the nature of his involvement.
After the fatal stabbing, Coto’s remains were buried off State Road 60 in Indian River County and discovered on Jan. 30, according to BSO.
Clarksville Police Department officers arrested Jenkins on Friday, while Bownes turned herself in to authorities in San Joaquin County, California the next day, Grossman said.
Upon their return to South Florida, both are expected to face charges of first degree murder and tampering with evidence.
Both remained in custody out-of-state as of Monday afternoon.
