Man charged after woman found dead in Central Park

A 36-year-old man has been charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon after a 63-year-old woman was found dead in Central Park, the New York City Police Department said. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have released few details about what led to her death or the evidence against the suspect, Jonathan Robles. Police said officers responded to a 911 call at about 9:43 a.m. Sunday, September 27, reporting an unconscious person near East Drive and East 74th Street. They found the woman unresponsive with head trauma. Emergency medical workers pronounced her dead at the scene. Her identity has not been released pending notification of family members. Robles, 36, was arrested Sunday night and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, according to police. Reports citing local television coverage said he surrendered to detectives and was taken to a hospital for evaluation before an expected arraignment. The supplied reports do not confirm whether an arraignment took place. Police retracted an earlier statement that the woman had been stabbed, saying instead that she suffered head trauma.
