Florida Police are searching for 32-year-old Elena Vasquez after she allegedly attacked her boyfriend, Marcos R., 35, with kitchen shears, severely injuring his genitals.
The shocking incident happened Tuesday night in their Homestead apartment after a fight over cheating.
Neighbors heard screams and called 911, finding Marcos bleeding heavily. He told police Vasquez snapped after he admitted to a one-night stand. Doctors at Jackson South Medical Center are fighting to save him, but his condition remains critical.
Vasquez, a bartender, fled the scene in a red hoodie and jeans. Cops believe she’s headed to Tampa or Georgia. She’s 5’4” with dark hair, and police warn not to approach her. “This is a serious crime, possibly attempted murder,” said Miami-Dade Police Lt. Javier Ruiz.The case recalls the 1993 Lorena Bobbitt story, but experts say it’s a grim reminder of domestic violence. “These acts often come from pain and control,” said Maria Gonzalez of the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Vasquez’s social media hints at jealousy, with posts about betrayal.
Marcos faces a long recovery, physically and mentally. Vasquez’s family urges her to surrender.
