Gregory Mallard, a 35-year-old reputed gang member who had two children with 32-year-old Norelis Mendoza, is charged with her murder, as well as desecration of her remains and evidence tampering, among other counts.
Mallard is scheduled to be arraigned on the indictment in Superior Court in Jersey City on Monday, Feb. 12.
He’s been held since detectives arrested him last May 19 — five days after surveillance cameras captured images of the gruesome killing.
In the video, Mendoza is running away as Mallard hits her from behind with a Dodge Ram on Burma Road near Liberty State Park around 4:30 a.m. May 14, a complaint on file in Superior Court in Jersey City says.
He then makes a U-turn and drives over her, it says.
Mallard reportedly then gets out, puts her body in the passenger seat of the pickup and drives off.
Another camera, this one on Kennedy Boulevard, shows the pickup on railroad property near Route 440, where the Jersey City native’s body was found three days later, the complaint says.
