Fiancée’s callous response to cops after learning her partner’s mistress had died of her injuries after beating her up on camera while her cackling accomplice filmed
Grim police footage reveals the moment a fiancée realises she faces years in prison for manslaughter after taking out her anger on her partner’s lover.
Antonetta Stevens, 27, posed as her partner to lure his lover Ashley Bocanegra to their Burford, Georgia, home with a text message on his phone.
She charged at the mother of one as she approached, grabbed her by the hair and forced her to the ground, then punched the petite 30-year-old woman several times.
Bocanegra went to the hospital where she later died of internal bleeding. Police later arrived at the house to inform Stevens of the fatal consequences of her jealousy.
When she heard that Bocanegra had died from her injuries, she responded callously to police: “Okay, uh, wow, I’m so sorry about that, uh, that wasn’t my intention.”
“I’ve been through a lot mentally,” she whines. “I have bipolar depression and I’m just going through a lot right now.”

Bocanegra, 30, was the married mother of a seven-year-old son and died from her injuries after the brutal attack
The drama began after Stevens discovered that her partner of five years and father of her three-year-old son, Daniel Gonzalez, was having an affair.
Bocanegra was his manager at a nearby Floor and Decor depot, and Gonzalez had told his 17-year-old sister Janine about his tryst.
Janine told Stevens that she came up with her revenge plan after seeing her partner and his lover walking together near the store during his lunch break.
The next day, she walked to Bocanegra, where she approached the apartment complex in response to the fake text message.
Janine followed her and filmed the encounter on her phone as Stevens walked towards her victim, shouting: ‘I will kill you’.
“I’ll do worse things to you,” she screams as she punches Bocanegra in the face.
“That’s why he tried to protect you, but now he doesn’t want you to get beat up anymore.”
Janine dragged the helpless victim across the street, pulling her hair as Stevens delivered fatal blows to the woman.
The couple took her phone, intending to inform Bocanegra’s husband of her affair. When they walked back to the apartment, they left her sitting on the street, battered and bloodied.
She was left battered and bloodied in the street from the raging attack before dying of her injuries in hospital later that night.
Stevens, left, was furious when she discovered that partner Daniel Gonzalez was having an affair with his slightly built colleague. She is seen here when officers made their first visit to the house after the incident was reported to police, before the full extent of Bocanegra’s injuries was known.
Gonzalez was clearly not asleep when the attack occurred and woke up to the sound of his lover knocking on the door asking for her phone back.
Her attackers gave it back to her and she had already run away when police arrived after neighbors called 911.
That evening they returned after their victim, the mother of a seven-year-old son, deteriorated in hospital and told her she had been arrested for murder.
“Okay, uh wow, I’m really sorry, uh, that wasn’t my intention,” she tells them.
“I’ve been through a lot mentally,” she whines. “I have bipolar depression and I’m just going through a lot right now.”

Janine was also taken to the police station, where she laughs repeatedly and tells about everything that happened. She seems unaware that her freedom hangs by a thread.
So she comes and we go and she comes to the house, you know, it’s a big fight, a big fight
‘So after the argument we took her phone and went to her husband to tell him.
“You know, just stir it a little,” she giggled.
‘She starts banging on the door like crazy because, you know, we have her phone.
“She gets her phone back, so I don’t understand how she left. I didn’t pay attention after that because my brother was furious and he doesn’t want me there.”
“I was already in too much of it, so he was on my tail, so I thought, ‘Okay.'”
Daniel Gonzalez was seen on bodycam discussing the incident with police, and officers later told him that his coworker, who he was in a relationship with, didn’t make it
Stevens’ accomplice Janine Gonzalez, 17, filmed the attack on her phone and laughed and giggled during a police interrogation after learning of Bocanegra’s death
But her face turned to horror when her interviewer told her that she, too, was being charged with murder.
In the other interrogation room, Stevens’ head hits the table as she is left alone for a moment with a murder charge.
“I’m not going out to hurt anyone,” she tells detectives.
“It was not my intention at all to get into conflict with her today.”
Janine’s grin turns to a look of horror as her interviewer calmly tells her that she, too, is being charged with murder.
“Me!” she pants.
‘Wow, that’s, that’s, that’s too bad.
‘No, no, no, no, what? Murder? I barely touched her.
“I just pulled her hair.”

Bocanegra’s sister Jessica Rochce said the injuries were so severe that “she couldn’t breathe out of her mouth” and doctors had to “put a tube in.” Bocanegra’s son was 7 when his mother died
The August 2022 murder made headlines across the country, but the extensive footage of the police interrogation has just been released by Law and Justice.
Both women are now serving 20-year sentences in Arrendale State Prison for manslaughter and aggravated robbery.
