Body Found Wrapped In Plastic, Burned In Chesco ID'd, 2 Charged

WEST VINCENT, PA - The body of a Brooklyn man that was found in Chester County earlier this month wrapped in plastic and lit on fire has been identified, authorities said.

The body found in the 2300 block of Eagle Farm Road in Chester Springs was identified as 32-year-old Rolando Blanco-Duartes, of Brooklyn, New York, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said.

The victim’s family has been notified and confirmed the identification, the district attorney’s office said.

Police arrested Luis Marroquin-Cerna, 27, and Rodolfo Lopez, 29, on murder charges July 4 in connection with the discovery, Patch previously reported.

The three men got into an argument after they left a 41st Street bar near Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery that ended with Blanco-Duarte shot twice about 4 a.m. inside a nearby building, the New York Daily News reported.

After the shooting, the two remaining men took Blanco-Duarte's body to Chester County, police said. They then dumped the body in a wooded area and set it on fire, the outlet reported.

“Law enforcement believes this is an isolated incident and there is no danger to the community,” the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said.

“Although this crime initially took place in New York, we will continue to provide assistance to get this victim and his family justice,” District Attorney Deb Ryan said.
