22 Year Old Florida Pizza Delivery Woman Stabbed A Pregnant Customer 14 Times Over A $2 Tip!

"A delivery driver allegedly returned to a Florida motel where a couple was staying and stabbed a woman multiple times this week over being tipped $2 on an order, police said. Brianna Alvelo, 22, is charged with attempted murder, home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping and aggravated assault, according to court records. A man who allegedly accompanied Alvelo during the incident has not yet been identified. A woman, her boyfriend, and the woman's 5-year-old daughter were staying at a Kissimmee motel to celebrate a birthday and ordered a Marco's pizza on Sunday, according to an affidavit filed in Alvelo's case. The affidavit is based on the woman's interview with the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. Alvelo delivered the pizza, which cost about $33, and was asked to give change for a $50 bill, the affidavit said. But Alvelo did not have change and the woman searched for smaller bills, allegedly only giving Alvelo a $2 tip in the end. Sometime later, the woman said she heard a loud knocking on the door, the affidavit said. A man and woman clad in all black wearing face masks allegedly forced themselves into the room when she opened the door. The man brandished a silver revolver and demanded the woman's boyfriend go into the bathroom, the affidavit said. And the other person, believed to be Alvelo, allegedly pulled out a pocket knife. According to the affidavit, Alvelo rummaged through the woman's purse and broke her daughter's Nintendo Switch. The woman said she turned to shield her child and felt a strike to her lower back. She then "threw her daughter onto the bed and attempted to pick up her phone," the affidavit said. But Alvelo allegedly grabbed the phone, smashed it, and "began striking her multiple times with the knife." The man who had the gun then yelled it was time to go, stopping the assault, according to the affidavit. The woman was stabbed 14 times, with wounds to the chest, arms, legs, and abdomen" - NBC | Posted by Thrillz
