Images now exclusively released by Local 10 show the Cuban Carlos Alexander Travieso when he voluntarily surrendered in December to the West Miami police after having murdered his ex-partner, Isbelsy Olivera (22 years old), and her mother, Irisbel Cartalla (50), both also of Cuban origin.
In the video, Travieso is seen sitting in the West Miami police station, calm and serene, moments before several officers entered and handcuffed him.
Travieso, 49 years old, has been in prison since then, without the right to bail. He faces two charges of first-degree murder.
Your next court hearing is scheduled for the end of this month.
The crime
On the morning of December 13, 2023, Carlos Travieso entered an apartment on the ninth floor of the Flagami condominium where his ex-partner and his ex-mother-in-law lived and killed them.
After shooting the women, Travieso fled the scene of the double crime and turned himself in to the authorities.
Mother and daughter were natives of Camagüey and had recently arrived from Cuba.
Images published months earlier on Facebook showed Isbelsy and Carlos happy, and he had even proposed to her, a situation that evidently changed.
The latest posts before the double murder hinted that the Cuban was going through a period of emotional turmoil before committing the crime.
On November 25, Travieso was bidding farewell to Miami and heading to Phoenix, Arizona, where he claimed to reside according to his social media.
He returned to Facebook on December 3. His subsequent posts - all just shortly before the double murder - referred to his family members, including his children, and had a tone of nostalgia and farewell.
This is joined by other publications in which he slipped in brief, enigmatic phrases, as if aiming at a target.
The climax was a post from December 10, three days before the crime, in which he wrote "Thank you, God, for forgiving me, I am ready for everything, amen" [sic], along with a clip from a preacher's video.
