Stabbing Incidents in Phoenix

Stabbing Incidents in Phoenix

Phoenix Stabbing

Even though things are always changing, it seems like there’s one constant in the world. There will always be violence. Police have recently released a sketch of one of the suspects who was involved in a deadly tabbing in South Phoenix.

The Phoenix Police Department says that the suspects in the November 22nd stabbing could have been just sixteen and fourteen years old. The stabbing happened near 4th Avenue and Buckeye Road. How sad is it that a fourteen or even a sixteen year old can get access to a knife. Not only do they have access but they want to harm other people? Something is seriously wrong.

The Police say that the stabbing victim was twenty-four year old, German Del Bosque. They say he was stabbed several times, as he was just innocently walking with his girl friend.

Maria Ruelas (Bosque’s Grandmother) Statement:

I just pray that guy will turn himself in and pay for what he did,” said Maria Ruelas, Del Bosque’s grandmother.

 

Maria said that her grandson and girlfriend were planning on getting married just one month away from the stabbing. Now, his family will be laying him to rest.

According to the local witness reports, there was a sketch and it showed one of the suspects being a Hispanic girl. They think that should be as young as fourteen years old. They say she is around five foot tall and weighs around one hundred pounds. So she’s tiny. They say she has dark, poofy hair.

Police say that other suspect is a Hispanic boy, he could be around sixteen years old. They say he is around five foot, eight inches tall. They think he weighs around one hundred, fifty pounds.

Both of the suspects were reported to be riding a dark colored BMX or Mongoose-style bike. The Police still do not know what promoted this attack.

Police are asking that if you have any information regarding this case, then please call the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-7626 or the Silent Witness program at 480-Witness.

Please someone call with information about this case, kids should not be going around and stabbing people for the fun of it. Their parents as well as the authorities need to know what these kids are up to.

Lady Arrested for Stabbing

You don’t really hear about too many bearded ladies now days. Unless of course you’re thinking of a circus act, however the San Diego police have had a run in with one recently and it was definitely not dealing with the circus.

According to San Diego Police, they have now arrested a woman that they described as weighting four hundred pounds and also had a beard. She was arrested for her involvement in the stabbing of a man, who just asked for a cigarette.

On late Thursday night, the police arrested the bearded lady that they say stabbed the man in the neck on Wednesday.

Police Officer, Robert Heims, said that the thirty-nine year old man had walked up to the woman as well as a group of other people and had simply asked them for a cigarette.

According to the reports, the woman then told the man to get away from her things, right before stabbing him and running away. They described her as a heavyset woman with facial hair, she was wearing a white shirt and jeans.

The man had to be hospitalized, but was luckily expected to survive. Safe to say, he probably won’t be asking for cigarettes off of anyone anytime soon.

Phoenix Domestic Violence Cases

Abuse Happening at Home

Phoenix Woman Pleads Guilty to Murder

You know, every couple fights. Sure, everyone feels like they could “shoot” their spouse but no one actually does it. Except for maybe one Phoenix woman. She pleaded guilty to second degree murder. She fatally shot her husband in their home.

Thirty-one year old, Amanda Lynn Miller told the Phoenix Police that she shot her thirty-six year old husband, Jesus Nevarez-Galindo. She was trying to leave their home as it was filling up with smoke from a fire. He had set the kitchen on fire.

Court documents showed that police counted seven wounds in the man’s body. Miller told the police that the situation began as an argument over financial issues and lack of food in the house broke out. Sure makes sense. Hungry. Let’s catch the kitchen on fire.

Apparently the couple had quite the history of domestic violence.

Woman Suffers From Sexual Abuse

A young woman of only eighteen years old has suffered from serious injures as she was beaten, burned, and sexually assaulted and forced to drink bleach. This was after she reportedly refused to sell drugs for a man.

Twenty-five year old, Johnel Henry Thomas has now been booked into jail for one count of each sexual assault as well as kidnapping, unlawful means of transportation, as well as six counts of aggravated assault.

The court documents stated that the victim was taken to Mr. Thomas’ apartment in West Phoenix. She was taken there by another female and possible suspect.

After she was in his apartment, Mr. Thomas allegedly beat her as well as tortured the poor young girl. She recieved a broken arm, smashed hands, burns all over her body from a hot knife and swords, burns from the bleach being poured over her as well as bruises all over her body from hammer blows.  This poor girl, I can’t imagine what she suffered.

Violence Reported

The report also said that the police had stated that the victim had still had a belt around her neck when she was found by the police officers. There were also marks on her neck, ankles and wrists from her being restrained. She was also sexually assaulted, which also caused even more injuries.

Luckily a neighbor saw Mr. Thomas and another man dragging the eighteen year old girl into the suspect’s apartment and heard her please for help. The neighbor called 911.

When the officers had arrived to the scene the front and back doors were open to the apartment. Thomas was later located by the police in a stolen vehicle.

According to the report, when Thomas had seen the officers, he fled the scene, naked and out the back door. The victim was also naked as she walked from the back door. She was walking to the front of the complex to find the officers for help.

Domestic Abuse

Police said that she was understandably hysterical. She was telling them about the suspect pouring bleach on her and making her drink it. Officers were able to pour some water on the young woman and tried to get the bleach out of her eyes and off of her body.

The victim was later taken to the hospital for treatment. She told the medical staff that she had been sexually assaulted and the staff has confirmed that her injures match what she said.

As the police searched the apartment, they found a number of knives as well as swords and empty bleach bottle as well as two hammers.

When Mr. Thomas was interviewed by the investigators, he had told them that a female friend had “assaulted the victim inside the apartment” . However, he did admit to “having sex” with the victim. Another man was also taken into custody. He had told the investigators that he was in the apartment during some of the assault, however after his arrest he denied participating.

Police have said that the victim had severe burns. She even had to have surgery for her broken arm.

19 Year Old Arrested for Kidnapping and Killing a Man

19 Year Old Arrested for Kidnapping and Killing a Man

Phoenix Police Arrest 19 Year Old for Kidnapping and Killing a Man

On Thursday the Phoenix Police arrested an 19 year old young man for kidnapping another man for two days and then tried to shoot him in the face with a shotgun.

The suspect that was arrested was nineteen year old Noe “Quiet” Silva. He was booked on charges of attempted first-degree murder, as well as kidnapping and managing/organizing a street gang, and possession of a weapon by a prohibited person.

According to the court documents, a man had told the police that the young man (Silva) and another young man that went by “sleepy” had kidnapped him near Glendale and 17th avenues.

The police believe that Silva is a gang member. The man said that at one point the other kidnapper had put a shotgun in his mouth and then pulled the trigger. Luckily the gun did not fire though.

The man escaped by prying open a window in the apartment, the window was however nailed shut from the outside so it must have been a pretty hard task.

The man stayed in the nearby alley ways. That is when Silva found him and then shot him in the face with the shotgun. Luckily, the man survived the shot. The man was able to identify the men in a photo lineup.

Before the kidnapping the man said that Silva had been “taxing him“. He believed that Silva’s gang would be acting soon.

Taxing

is when a gang threatens someone with force for financial gain.

The kidnappers made the man turn his phone, hats, and other personal items over to them.

Silva’s sentencing

He was convicted for theft of means of transportation in 2009 while he was still a juvenile. The previous conviction prohibits him from having a weapon. A judge has ordered Silva be held in jail on a $750,000 bond.
