Neighbors told Local 10 News they believe the suspect stabbed his mother and stepfather in the early morning hours, with many waking up to crime scene tape marking off part of the 1400 block of Southwest 32nd Court.

“It’s so sad, especially since we knew them for a long time,” said resident Angel Peña.

The relationship between the suspect and both victim has not yet been disclosed, however, Alejandra Hoyos, who lives nearby, said the suspect and victims “seem like a normal family.”

Newly obtained surveillance video shows the moment Fort Lauderdale police arrived at the home, blocking off the street with yellow tape. Officers said responded around 2 a.m. to reports of a stabbing.
