Fresh insights have surfaced regarding the tragic murder of Daylon Fleitas, a 37-year-old Cuban whose disappearance was first reported in early August in Hialeah. His body was discovered several days later inside a recycling bin.
Daylon was last seen on August 3rd, sparking immediate concern within his family when his wife began receiving suspicious messages from his phone number. According to journalist Javier Díaz from Univision, the murderer used Daylon's phone to send WhatsApp messages to his wife, pretending to be him.
In these deceptive messages, the impersonator claimed he had been detained by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) but managed to flee to Mexico with a friend's help. He also mentioned being unable to share more details for safety reasons. However, the family quickly realized these messages did not fit Daylon's real circumstances.
The Shocking Truth: A Close Friend's Betrayal
The case took a heart-wrenching turn when Alfredo Carballo, a close friend of the victim, emerged as the main suspect. The possibility that someone so near could commit such a heinous act has been incredibly difficult for the family to process.
Marlon Fleitas, Daylon's brother, confessed that he initially didn't suspect Alfredo, yet he always had an uneasy feeling. "Honestly, at first, I didn't think he was capable of such barbarity, but I did have a hunch he was involved," he admitted. Marlon lamented, "No amount of money is worth taking a life."
While desperately searching for Daylon, Marlon stayed in contact with Alfredo, who even transferred $2,500 through Zelle, claiming it was a debt owed to Daylon. "He had options—if he didn't want to pay, he could've gone to the police and said, 'I can't pay this man.' Instead, he chose the most extreme path: crime," Marlon reasoned.
A Sinister Collaboration
The family's grief extends beyond Alfredo Carballo. They also accuse his partner, Ariely Álvarez Cabrera, of being an accomplice. According to them, she had multiple chances to distance herself from the crime but chose not to. "She had thousands of opportunities to escape this, but she didn't. She became an accomplice willingly," Marlon Fleitas asserted with indignation.
Among the most poignant testimonies is that of Daylon's mother, who passionately expressed her desire for justice: "As long as I'm alive, I'll keep demanding justice and I won't tire."
Her words reflect not only a mother's grief but also frustration with a system yet to resolve the case. The medical examiner's office has yet to release Daylon's body, leaving the family pleading for progress in the investigation.
"They've taken a piece of my life, my brother," Marlon reiterated. Meanwhile, Daylon's mother concluded, "We'll never truly find peace because they've torn a part of our family away."
The Fleitas family demands that both Alfredo Carballo and Ariely Álvarez Cabrera surrender to the authorities and face the legal consequences of their actions.
Chilling Video Evidence of the Murder
A surveillance video starkly reveals the final moments of Daylon Fleitas. Captured on August 3rd in a Medley truck parking lot, the footage vividly depicts the sequence of the crime, from his encounter with the alleged killer to his body being dragged away.
In the video, Alfredo Carballo—the main suspect, now a fugitive—approaches Fleitas's truck. Both men enter the vehicle, but moments later, the camera captures the chilling moment when Fleitas's body falls to the ground and Carballo drags it away. Police believe he was already injured or deceased at this point.
The video later shows the assailant loading a recycling bin into the back of Fleitas's truck, driving away with another vehicle following.
"The victim and the suspect entered the victim's truck. Shortly after, the victim is seen falling from the vehicle, and the suspect dragging the victim along the ground," the Miami-Dade Sheriff's document states.
The disappearance was officially reported on August 7th. The day after, Fleitas's truck was found in the area of Southwest 210th Street and 203rd Avenue, with visible bloodstains and a nearby backpack.
The body was not discovered until August 9th, when homicide detectives found the abandoned container in a wooded area. Inside was Daylon Fleitas, with multiple stab wounds. The county medical examiner confirmed these injuries as the cause of death.
"Investigators located the recycling bin... and found the victim inside. The victim had multiple wounds on the body," authorities documented.
Since then, police have been searching for Alfredo Carballo González and his partner, Ariely Álvarez Cabrera. Both are Cuban and on the run with their five-month-old son, Alain Carballo. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office issued an alert for the missing child, warning that the adults might be armed and should be considered dangerous.
Authorities are urging the community to provide any information that could lead to the suspects' whereabouts. Anonymous tips can be reported to the Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers Line at 305-471-8477.
