The Cuban Ariely Álvarez Cabrera, accused of assisting her partner in covering up the murder of fellow Cuban Daylon Fleitas González in Miami-Dade in August, has paid the bail that had been set for her, according to jail records.
The 27-year-old woman was recently extradited from Mexico and is accused of complicity in the conspiracy to conceal a crime and manipulation of physical evidence, legal charges aimed at penalizing those who collaborate in hiding a crime or altering essential evidence for the investigation.
Bail payment and house arrest
This Monday, according to prison records - cited by Telemundo 51 - Álvarez Cabrera managed to pay the bail that had been imposed on her.
In the first appearance of Álvarez Cabrera before the Miami-Dade court, Judge Mindy S. Glazer upheld the $200,000 bail that had been granted to him in Broward County, with $100,000 for each charge.
The attorney also ordered that the defendant surrender her passport and remain under house arrest if she paid bail, with GPS monitoring and a curfew from 11 PM to 6 AM.
The defense attorney for the accused, on the other hand, stated that Álvarez was unaware of the murder and requested a reduction of her bail to $40,000, arguing that she turned herself in to authorities in Mexico after learning about the arrest warrant and that she was cooperating with the police and Interpol to facilitate the capture of Carballo.
He also noted that the woman had no criminal record and that there is no risk of flight.
The prosecutors in the case argued that the accused helped to cover up the crime; they also noted that she and Carballo managed to reach Texas and then escape to Mexico.
Although it has not been officially confirmed whether Ariely Álvarez Cabrera has physically left the penitentiary, the conditions of the bail imply that the accused will remain under house arrest while the judicial process unfolds.
Background of the crime and the escape of those involved
The case dates back to August 3, 2024, when Daylon Fleitas González, 37 years old, met with Alfredo Carballo González, Álvarez's partner, in an industrial area of Medley, northwest of Miami-Dade County.
According to the police report, following an altercation inside the victim's pickup truck, Carballo allegedly loaded a recycling container in the back of the vehicle and fled the scene, closely followed by another car driven by Álvarez Cabrera.
Five days later, on August 8, authorities found the truck and, near it, the container with the lifeless body of Fleitas.
Since then, both suspects have disappeared, triggering an international manhunt.
The case became even more complicated due to the presence of a minor involved: a six-month-old baby, child of the fugitive couple, who was recovered in good health.
It was only weeks later that Álvarez Cabrera decided to voluntarily surrender to the Mexican authorities, which facilitated his extradition to the United States.
The main suspect remains at large
Álvarez Cabrera is already facing justice, but the alleged material author of the crime, Alfredo Carballo González, 32 years old, remains at large.
The police continue to actively search and have requested public assistance to obtain any leads regarding their whereabouts.
Next judicial steps
With the accused now under house arrest, the judicial system of Miami-Dade County will evaluate the developments of the case in the coming weeks.
The evidence against him, including his alleged direct involvement in transporting the body and tampering with the crime scene, will be crucial in determining his criminal liability.
Similarly, the process could be accelerated if the authorities manage to capture Carballo González, which would allow for a more thorough clarification of the dynamics surrounding the murder of Daylon Fleitas and the motivations behind this brutal incident.
The case has generated shock both in the Hialeah community and among Cubans residing in the United States and on the island, due to the profile of those involved and the brutality of the crime.
For now, the focus is on the development of the trial and the capture of the main suspect, while the victim's family demands full justice for Daylon Fleitas González.
