A 76-year-old man was taken into custody Friday morning after he violently stabbed a woman inside her townhouse in west Miami-Dade County, authorities said.
According to Miami-Dade police, officers were called to the home off Southwest 152nd Avenue and Eighth Way after the man had stabbed the 71-year-old victim, from whom he had been separated for four months.
Authorities said a teenage girl inside the home intervened and was unharmed. A group of roofers who were working on a nearby home said the granddaughter ran outside, screaming for help. Then, the men went inside and found a bloody scenario where the woman stabbed was longing to survive.
They tried to tell him to put the knife down and threw several things at him to make him go away from the injured lady. But He wouldn’t. He tried cutting himself not caring of what would happen. Workers said the suspect pointed the knife at them as they tried to take him. The victim was taken to Kendall Regional Medical Center, where she died.
One of the neighbor next door to the victim, said the woman and his mother were friends, and the victim would show his mother obsessive texts from her ex.
The suspect’s and victim’s identities have not yet been released.
