MIAMI (WSVN) – A man is facing an attempted murder charge after police said he stabbed his girlfriend 34 times after she told him she wanted to end their relationship.<\/p>\n
Leisnier Mauri Garcia, 40, was arrested Thursday and charged with attempted felony murder with a deadly weapon, according to a Miami Police arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the victim told detectives she and Garcia had been dating since December 2025 and that the relationship had become violent on previous occasions.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, the couple rented an Airbnb near the beach on June 21 before going to a restaurant. <\/p>\n
While they were on the way, the victim received a text message from the father of her child. <\/p>\n
Police said Garcia saw the message, sparking an argument during which the victim told him she no longer wanted to continue the relationship.<\/p>\n
After leaving the restaurant, the pair returned to the Airbnb to gather their belongings. <\/p>\n
Police said Garcia told the victim he had forgotten something inside and went back into the rental before rejoining her. <\/p>\n
As the victim drove toward her Miami home, Garcia insisted on sitting in the rear passenger seat instead of the front, where he normally sat, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
Police said Garcia then allegedly pulled out a knife from the back seat and attacked the victim. <\/p>\n
She managed to get out of the vehicle and escape, investigators said. The victim sustained 34 stab wounds and was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
Garcia was located and arrested Thursday. <\/p>\n
Police said he was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment of cuts to his hands before being transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.<\/p>\n
Judge found probable cause and issued no bond. <\/p>\n
