A violent incident in the southwest of Miami-Dade left three men injured by a knife, one of whom is in critical condition, and a suspect behind bars, in a case that involves accusations of robbery, a desperate escape, and a dramatic capture.
On Friday afternoon, agents from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office arrested 48-year-old Daniel López for stabbing three people in a home located at Southwest 16th Street and 93rd Court.
The incident occurred at 4:30 am on Thursday. The reason was the alleged disappearance of his wallet, which López attributed to the victims.
According to the investigators, the man lost control after realizing that his wallet was missing, directly accused the group, and without further ado, attacked the three men with a knife, injuring one of them in the head.
After the attack, he fled the scene.
He was located the next day in an apartment at 12980 Southwest 246 St, but when officers arrived, he jumped from a third-floor balcony, ran to a nearby field, and hid under an abandoned boat. A operation with tracking dogs and a helicopter found him.
He was captured and transported to the Turner Guilford Correctional Center, where he was booked at 8:25 PM. He faces three charges of second-degree attempted murder and one charge of resisting arrest without violence.
"I am going to win this case. Those three are drug addicts; I am the innocent one," he declared in Spanish to the officers, as recorded in the police report accessed by the network Local 10.
According to the report from América TeVe, the injured are three men aged 31, 32, and 33. One of them was transported in critical condition to the hospital by emergency services.
The security cameras in the area captured unsettling images: three men getting out of a vehicle and approaching the house, two of whom return to the car seconds later.
The crime scene left clear signs of violence: bloodstains on the door, objects scattered on the floor, and an atmosphere of confusion among the neighbors.
Residents of the area expressed their concern, as the house where the incident occurred is known for frequent parties and disturbances, which has necessitated a regular police presence.
The case is still under investigation.
