<\/p>\nA Cuban boxer is facing an attempted murder charge in a bizarre stabbing incident in Miami over the weekend, records showed.<\/p>\n
Frank Zaldivar-Santiesteban, 29, was arrested Sunday on a charge of attempted felony murder with a firearm or deadly weapon, an arrest report said.<\/p>\n
The incident began early Sunday when an officer responded to Northwest 57th Avenue for a report of a suspicious person who looked like he was sharpening a knife, before the caller said the suspicious person went into an apartment and that people were arguing and naked, the report said.<\/p>\n
The officer spoke with two people in the apartment who said everything was fine, but about an hour later, the caller called 911 again saying people were fighting and a person was cut, the report said.<\/p>\n
A short time later, a call was received from an employee of a gas station at 5688 West Flagler Street who said there was a naked man covered in blood holding a knife.<\/p>\n
Officers responded and found a victim with stab wounds to the chest who was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center with a laceration to his chest and a punctured lung.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video showed Miami Police arriving at the gas station and encountering the naked victim outside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Police found a man naked and stabbed at a Miami gas station on April 5, 2026.<\/p>\n
The victim said he’d met Zaldivar-Santiesteban a few days earlier and said Zaldivar-Santiesteban came to his apartment with a knife and told him “God told me to come here and stab you,” the report said.<\/p>\n
The victim said he was stabbed and tussled with Zaldivar-Santiesteban before he was able to take knife away and stab Zaldivar-Santiesteban multiple times, the report said.<\/p>\n
Zaldivar-Santiesteban was found a few hours later in the area of Northwest 42nd Avenue and Northwest 7th Street covered in blood with a white blanket around his waist and refused to identify himself to officers, the report said.<\/p>\n
He was also hospitalized at Ryder Trauma Center where a fingerprint reader was used to identify him.<\/p>\n
A detective spoke with Zaldivar-Santiesteban who said he’d been in an argument with “his brother, whom he loves, and he does not care what happens to him; only God can judge him,” the report said.<\/p>\n
Zaldivar-Santiesteban appeared before a judge on Tuesday in a video call from a hospital bed. The judge ordered him held without bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Cuban boxer is facing an attempted murder charge in a bizarre stabbing incident in Miami over the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222776,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-222775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222775\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
