Authorities in Miami-Dade are actively searching for Alfredo Carballo González, 32, and Ariely Álvarez Cabrera, 27, a Cuban couple suspected in the murder of Daylon Fleitas González, a 37-year-old fellow Cuban whose body was discovered on August 9 near the Everglades. Police have issued a warning that the couple, originally from San Antonio de los Baños, are on the run with their five-month-old baby, who may be at risk, as reported by Univision journalist Javier Díaz on his Facebook page.
Photographs of the child and the couple have been released by authorities, who have cautioned the public that they should be considered "armed and dangerous."
Fleitas was reported missing on August 3 in Hialeah after notifying his brother that he was going to collect a debt. Unfortunately, he never returned. His vehicle, a 2011 black Ford F-150 with the license plate RPQW74, was found abandoned among bushes in the southwest part of the county, not far from where his body was later discovered.
New Evidence Surfaces in Hialeah Murder Case
This past Friday, Univision's Noticias 23 obtained exclusive footage showing the moment Fleitas González was allegedly stabbed in a truck parking lot in Medley. According to an internal document from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, Fleitas met with Carballo on August 3 at the intersection of 95th Avenue and 106th Street NW to collect a $10,000 loan.
The footage shows Carballo approaching Fleitas González's truck, then dragging him to the ground moments later. The report details that the suspect placed the body into a recycling bin, loaded it into the truck bed, and drove off while being followed by another vehicle, presumably carrying the woman and the baby.
Police Investigation Continues
On August 7, Hialeah police filed a missing person report, and the following day, Fleitas's truck was found in the area of SW 210th Street and 203rd Avenue, stained with blood and containing a backpack with evidence. The remains were discovered on August 9 inside the bin in a nearby wooded area, showing multiple stab wounds, according to the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner's Office.
The victim's mother told Díaz that authorities are making progress in the investigation. While the police have not officially confirmed a link between the debt Fleitas was trying to collect and the suspect couple, the case is being investigated by the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Homicide Unit, which is urging public assistance in locating the fugitives and ensuring the baby's safety.
Díaz reported that the family of the fugitive couple in San Antonio de Los Baños is devastated by the news.
