Miami, Florida — A 34-year-old man is facing multiple criminal charges after police say he stabbed his live-in boyfriend several times inside a 14th-floor apartment in Miami. According to an arrest report, the victim survived injuries to his neck, face and chest.
Police identified the suspect as Fernando Parajon. Investigators allege that he threatened to kill the victim before the stabbing, while a neighbor reportedly witnessed the attack through her apartment door’s peephole after hearing shouting.
The incident prompted a police response to a residential building in Miami’s Midtown area, where officers also reported seeing the suspect throwing glass bottles from the apartment balcony.
Police Describe Threat Before the Alleged Stabbing
According to the police report, Parajon and the victim had been in a romantic relationship for approximately six months and were living together in the apartment.
The victim later told a detective that Parajon had been making unusual statements and speaking to himself before the incident. The victim alleged that Parajon then opened a nightstand drawer and took out a large knife.
An arrest report states that Parajon allegedly said, “Tonight, is the night I am going to kill you!” before the stabbing.
The reported threat is a central detail in the account provided by investigators. The allegations have not, by themselves, established guilt, and the case will be addressed through the criminal justice process.
Neighbor Reportedly Witnessed the Attack
A neighbor in the Midtown area told police she heard yelling coming from the apartment and went to her front door to look through the peephole.
According to the arrest report, the neighbor said she saw Parajon on top of the victim, stabbing him multiple times.
Her reported observations became part of the information documented by responding officers. Police have not provided additional details in the account supplied about what happened immediately before the neighbor heard the shouting.
The incident occurred in a high-rise apartment building near Northeast First Avenue and 36th Street, according to the police report.
Officers Reported Seeing Bottles Thrown From Balcony
When officers arrived, they reportedly saw Parajon throwing glass bottles from the apartment’s balcony.
The balcony was several floors above street level, creating a potential danger to people below. The police account does not specify whether anyone on the ground was struck or injured by the bottles.
Officers arrested Parajon shortly after 10:40 p.m. on Saturday, according to the arrest report.
The victim survived the stabbing, with injuries reported to the neck, face and chest. The information provided in the report does not specify the victim’s subsequent medical condition or whether additional treatment was required.
Suspect Booked Into Miami-Dade Jail
Miami-Dade corrections records show Parajon was booked shortly after 2:15 a.m. on Sunday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center near Doral.
He appeared in court at approximately 11:10 a.m. on Monday, wearing an anti-suicide smock, according to the account of the court appearance.
A Miami-Dade judge denied bond and ordered Parajon to stay away from the victim and weapons.
Court proceedings will determine how the case moves forward. The reported bond decision and restrictions reflect the court’s actions at that hearing, rather than a determination of guilt.
Four Charges Filed Against Parajon
According to the records described in the report, Parajon faced four charges:
- Aggravated battery with a deadly weapon
- Shooting or throwing a deadly missile
- Assault
- Resisting arrest
Records also showed an immigration hold placed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The available account does not provide further details about the immigration proceedings or any subsequent changes to the criminal charges.
The allegations involve both the reported stabbing and the bottles officers said they saw being thrown from the balcony. Additional court records or statements from authorities may provide further information as the case progresses.
What Happens Next?
The case remains a criminal matter, and the allegations against Parajon must be evaluated through the legal process. The victim’s survival and the reported witness account are significant details in the police narrative, but the full evidence will be addressed through the proceedings.
Authorities have not provided further information in the supplied report about the victim’s recovery or a future court date.
