A pizza delivery driver in Florida is charged with stabbing a pregnant woman 14 times over a $2 tip.
The woman, her boyfriend and the woman’s 5-year-old daughter were staying at a motel in Kissimmee to celebrate a birthday. The woman ordered a Marco’s pizza for $33 on Sunday.
Brianna Alvelo, 22, delivered the pizza, and was asked to give change for a $50 bill. But Alvelo said it was against company policy to provide change. So the woman paid for the pizza with smaller bills, and gave Alvelo a $2 tip.
Alvelo took the $2 and left without saying anything. According to an affidavit, Alvelo and an unidentified male returned to the motel in a red Toyota Camry around 10 pm.
Wearing all black and black face masks, they forced entry into the motel room. The man threatened the woman’s boyfriend with the gun and ordered him into a bathroom.
Alvelo rifled through the woman’s purse and broke her daughter’s Nintendo Switch. When the victim tried to protect her daughter, Alvelo stabbed her multiple times before fleeing with the male.
The victim suffered stab wounds to her chest, arms, legs and abdomen. She discovered she was pregnant while being treated at a local hospital, the affidavit said.
Police tracked Alvelo to Marco’s Pizza and confirmed she was the delivery driver.
A manager at the Marco’s Pizza location confirmed that Alvelo drives a red Toyota Camry. He also gave investigators a copy of her time card, verifying that she finished her shift at 10:20 pm. The time card proved Alvelo was still on the clock when she returned to the motel to attack the woman.
Alvelo was arrested and is being held at the Osceola County Jail with bail set at $55,000.
Alvelo is charged with attempted murder, home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping and aggravated assault. The unknown male is still at large.
