Dubuque, IA: 52-year-old man charged with murdering longtime girlfriend at their home in Dubu

DUBUQUE, Iowa — A 52-year-old man has been charged with murdering his longtime girlfriend at the home they shared in Dubuque.

Teodoro Borrego (tay-uh-DOR'-oh bor-RAY'-goh) appeared in court on Thursday and is being held on $750,000 bail.

He returned to Iowa on Wednesday, having been taken into custody in Oklahoma City, Okla., last week.

Borrego is accused of shooting to death 40-year-old Shani Smith. She was found dead in their home after she didn't show up for work.

He's due back in court on March 15 and will be represented by a public defender. Online court records don't yet list that lawyer's name.
