A Cuban national was tragically stabbed to death on Friday evening in a shocking incident that has left the local community reeling. The victim, identified as 29-year-old Maria Rodriguez, was found with multiple stab wounds at her residence in the Campbellville area.

According to police reports, the incident occurred shortly after 8:00 p.m. Neighbors reported hearing a heated argument coming from the apartment shared by Rodriguez, her mother, and her mother’s partner. Moments later, screams rang out, prompting residents to alert authorities.

Upon arrival, police discovered Rodriguez lying motionless with severe injuries. Emergency medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene. Her mother, visibly distraught, was questioned by investigators as police cordoned off the area.

The primary suspect, identified as the mother’s partner, was apprehended at the scene without incident. He is currently in police custody, assisting with the ongoing investigation. Authorities believe the fatal attack stemmed from a domestic dispute, though the exact motive remains under investigation.

This tragedy has sparked renewed calls for greater awareness and intervention in domestic violence cases, particularly among vulnerable migrant communities. Local support groups have expressed condolences to the family and are urging anyone experiencing domestic abuse to seek help.

Police have assured the public that a thorough investigation is underway and have appealed for anyone with additional information to come forward. The suspect is expected to be formally charged in the coming days as the case proceeds through the legal system.
