“I killed both of them - just arrest me, bro,” Menendez, 23, told cops, according to court papers.
Cops first found Shinkarevskaya dead from a bullet to her head on a sidewalk at a Jiffy’s parking lot on Tuesday, February 16.
Shpilberg was later found shot in the passenger seat of her vehicle that same night near Edison Place and Bruen Street in Newark.
