According to a recent report, a Florida man killed his fiancee by stabbing her to death in front of their crying infant after discovering that she was unfaithful.
The New York Post reported that Carlos Diaz (25), a teacher, was in a “blind rage”, when he killed Amanda Hicks (26), then shot himself in the apartment where they lived in Port St. Lucie, while their 11-month old daughter Alani wept in her crib.
Hicks friend stated, “She said that they were working on it.” “But, I think this was an issue among others and he went into a rage.” “A blind rage.”
The couple has been together about three years, after they met at Port St. Lucie School where both had previously worked.

Diaz was informed that Hicks had betrayed him a few months earlier. However, she dismissed this as a minor transgression.

The couple had moved to Port St. Lucie with their daughter three weeks prior to the murder-suicide to try and repair their deteriorating relationship.

Diaz’s plans went terribly wrong the morning of 26 May. He called the family member repeatedly, but they didn’t answer. A short time later, a neighbor reported hearing piercing screams.
“We thought it was a fight.” The neighbor told the Post that you see a lot of this around here.
Police believe Diaz killed himself at 12:47 am. A Ring camera recorded the sound of one gunshot. Alani was lying in her crib for 11 hours near the dead bodies of her parents before police were called by a relative who requested a welfare check.
