Nowhere is safe: violent stabbing endangers family following unsatisfactory tip

A pizza delivery woman in Florida stabbed a pregnant customer 14 times. 

Her fury stemmed from what she considered a bad tip, police say.  The woman who ordered the pizza had tipped $2, after the pizza delivery woman struggling to find 20 dollars’ worth of change. She was staying at a motel in Kissimmee to celebrate a birthday, along with her partner and her 5-year-old daughter.

Brianna Alvelo, 22, the pizza delivery worker, is charged with attempted murder, home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping and aggravated assault. 

A man who allegedly accompanied Alvelo during the incident has yet to be publicly identified.

Later, the woman heard loud knocking at the door. A man and woman dressed in black and with face masks forced themselves into the room when she opened the door. The man took out a silver revolver and ordered the woman’s boyfriend into the bathroom. 

The woman flaunted a pocket knife. She began rummaging through the woman’s purse, breaking the child’s Nintendo Switch. When the woman turned to shield her child, she felt a strike to her lower back. She threw the child on the bed and scrambled to pick up her phone, which the masked woman grabbed and smashed, and began striking her victim repeatedly with the pocket knife. The gunman, seeing this, seems to have panicked, yelling at her that they should leave. 

The victim learned she was pregnant while hospitalized for stab wounds to the chest, arms, legs and abdomen, court documents inform. 

Meanwhile, Alvelo is being held at Osceola County Jail on a $55,000 bail and does not have an attorney. 

Prosectors requested she be held without bond, stating that this is a “punishable by life offense.”

The pair entering and leaving the motel was caught on camera, and timing was confirmed by the pizzeria.
