L.I. man arrested after woman found fatally shot in car outside her home
A Long Island man has been arrested and charged after a woman was found fatally shot in a car outside her apartment building in Moriches on Friday, officials said. James Quininchetta, 40, of Ridge, was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with second-degree murder, a Suffolk County Police spokesperson confirmed to the Daily News. The victim, 33-year-old Rebecca Roth, was found by her mother inside a Hyundai Elantra in the parking lot of the Tall Oaks apartment complex on Long Tree Lane early Friday morning, according to police. Roth's mother, who has not been publicly identified, called 911 shortly before 8:30 a.m. Homicide Squad detectives responded and found Roth with an apparent gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Quininchetta was arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday. He pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail, online court records show. George H. Duncan, Quininchetta's court-appointed attorney, told the Daily News that his client asserts his innocence and is eager to have his day in court. He's scheduled for another appearance on June 12. If convicted, Quininchetta faces 15 years to life behind bars. It's unclear what, if any, relationship he had with the victim.
