A delivery driver is accused of returning to a Florida motel where a couple were staying and stabbing a woman multiple times this week over having been tipped $2 on an order, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brianna Alvelo, 22, is charged with attempted murder, home invasion with a firearm, kidnapping and aggravated assault, according to court records. A man alleged to have accompanied Alvelo during the incident has not yet been identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A woman, her boyfriend and the woman’s 5-year-old daughter were staying at a motel in Kissimmee to celebrate a birthday and ordered a Marco’s pizza 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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, giving Alvelo only a $2 tip in the end, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman said that sometime later, she heard a loud knocking on the door, the affidavit said. A man and a woman clad in all black wearing masks forced themselves into the room when she opened the door, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man brandished a silver revolver and demanded that the woman’s boyfriend go into the bathroom, the affidavit said. And the other person, believed to be Alvelo, pulled out a pocketknife, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She then “threw her daughter onto the bed and attempted to pick up her phone,” the affidavit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Alvelo grabbed the phone, smashed it, and “began striking her multiple times with the knife,” according to the affidavit. The man who had the gun then yelled it was time to go, stopping the assault, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman was stabbed 14 times, with wounds to her chest, arms, legs and abdomen. She discovered she was pregnant while she was being treated at a local hospital, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alvelo was being held at the Osceola County Jail on a $55,000 bail, and no attorney was listed for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
