Pizza delivery driver arrested in the U.S. after altercation with pregnant woman over a tip.
A Florida pizza delivery driver has been arrested after allegedly stabbing a pregnant woman multiple times in front of her young daughter due to dissatisfaction with a tip.
According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, 22-year-old Brianna Alvelo from Kissimmee faces charges of attempted murder, kidnapping, home invasion, and aggravated assault after the incident at a motel on Monday night.
New reports indicate she is now also charged with murder. The victim, her boyfriend, and her 5-year-old daughter were celebrating the boyfriend’s birthday in their motel room when they ordered from a Marco’s Pizza.
Upon delivery of their $33.10 order, the victim attempted to pay with a $50 bill but was told by Alvelo that no change was available. After searching for smaller bills, the victim eventually paid and left a $2 tip, which Alvelo reportedly accepted with visible displeasure before leaving.
Later that night, Alvelo allegedly returned to the motel with an unidentified male accomplice, who was armed with a gun. The pair forced their way into the room, with the man holding the victim and her daughter at gunpoint.
He then forced the boyfriend into the bathroom, d£§troyed his phone, and stood guard while Alvelo searched the room. Authorities say Alvelo, armed with a knife, then attked the victim, stbing her 14 times before her accomplice intervened, telling her it was time to leave.
The victim, who underwent surgery for a punctured lung, learned at the hospital that she was in the early stages of pregnancy. The victim is now in stable condition, while Alvelo remains in the Osceola County jail without bond.
