Daylon Fleitas’ partner breaks the silence: He never imagined that his friend would kill him

Beanys Colón, partner of the Cuban Daylon Fleitas who was murdered in August 2025, broke her silence after attending a court hearing on Wednesday in the Miami-Dade Court against the two individuals accused of the crime, and revealed that the victim and his alleged murderer were friends.

"It was a person who helped him; they were friends. Daylon never saw it coming; he never expected that his friend, whom he even helped to buy his truck, would do this to him," Colón stated to Univision.

The woman also expressed the pain that the family is enduring due to the slow pace of the judicial process. "It's a pain for the family that even in August we will see if we can go home, a year after his death, which he did not deserve; no one deserves to die under the circumstances in which Daylon died," she added.

Alfredo Carballo and his partner Arielys Álvarez Cabrera are facing charges in the case.

The crime occurred on August 3, 2025, in a truck parking lot in Medley, when Fleitas went to the location to collect a loan of $10,000 that he had made to Carballo.

According to the internal document from the Miami-Dade Sheriff, both entered the victim's truck and moments later, Fleitas fell to the ground. The police report indicates that both Carballo and Álvarez entered the victim's truck. Shortly afterward, Fleitas is seen falling from the vehicle, while Alfredo is dragging him along the ground.

The document also states that "the individual placed a recycling bin in the back of the victim's truck and drove away in it, while another vehicle followed."

Everything was captured by the security cameras in the Medley parking lot, which allowed for the identification of the suspects.

Fleitas, a resident of Hialeah, was reported missing by his family until authorities found his stabbed body inside a container in the southwest of the county on August 9, 2025.

After the crime, Carballo and Álvarez fled to Mexico with their five-month-old baby. Arielys Álvarez turned herself in to Mexican authorities in September 2025 and was extradited to Florida, where she was placed under house arrest with a bond of $200,000.

Alfredo Carballo remained a fugitive until January 27, 2026, when he was arrested in Mexico and extradited to Miami the next day. Carballo faces charges of second-degree murder with a weapon, robbery, and tampering with evidence; Álvarez faces charges of complicity and tampering with evidence.

The trial may not take place until August 2026, almost a year after the crime, which Fleitas' family describes as an unbearable wait.
