A 16-year-old boy from Florida has been accused of stabbing a 15 year old during a sleepover after barging into the house, according to police reports. Alexander Hernandez allegedly turned up uninvited at Connor Gill’s home and started hammering on the front door around 10 pm before forcing his way in and stabbing the 15 year old victim. When an adult in the house came to check out the noise, he was also stabbed by Hernandez, the sheriff’s office reported. The adult is still in hospital with stab wounds, but tragically, Gill was pronounced dead later that night.

Emergency services provided immediate assistance to both victims at the scene before they were airlifted to nearby hospitals for further treatment. During their investigation, the SCSO found that Hernandez had fled the scene on foot. He was later caught with help from the Sheriff’s Office helicopter, according to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, reports the Mirror US. Hernandez was taken to the Sumter County Jail and charged with premeditated first-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, and armed burglary.

The investigation is still active and ongoing, with additional charges against the suspect being considered. Last week, over in Florida, a mum was nicked for reportedly trying to flog her daughter. Cops say the lass tried to hawk her 10 year old girl for the paltry sum of $20 and $5, so says the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The 32 year old accused is said to have approached a kindergarten teacher at a homeless shelter, pleading “take her with you.” She’s then alleged to have offered a deal, suggesting for 20 quid, “you could have her.” The boys in blue at the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office remarked: “This case is a stark reminder of the realities of human trafficking in our communities.” The woman now faces charges for flogging or handing over a minor for dosh or property and kiddy neglect.

A press release from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office put it bluntly: “This is a sad reminder that human trafficking does happen in our community. It often goes unreported.” They’re appealing for anyone with a whiff of human trafficking to get in touch with them or the National Human Trafficking Hotline. The young’un was found “crying, hungry, and looking like she had not bathed in days,” when she was taken to the local infirmary, authorities claim. She’ll be sticking under protective care while the legal drama unfolds. The bosses will keep on digging for more clues and make sure the nipper gets the help needed. Meanwhile, her mum will be staying behind bars as the coppers continue their probe.
