POLK COUNTY, FL. – Two illegal immigrants have been charged after a knife attack on Monday left a man in critical condition.
According to investigators, a Davenport man was stabbed Monday morning, November 15, 2021, at his residence in the Thrive apartment complex, and detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office were able to locate the suspects later that afternoon in Orange County.
28-year old Brayan Zambrano Solorzano and his girlfriend, 27-year old Angie Molina Rojas, were located at the Travel Lodge Motel and arrested with the assistance of deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Both suspects were booked into the Orange County Jail.
“Our detectives did a great job by tracking our suspects down so quickly, and we want to thank the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance. We hope the victim has a full and speedy recovery,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
According to the complaint affidavit for Zambrano Solorzano, he and Molina Rojas were visiting a couple at the apartment complex when an argument began among them at around 7:30 AM. Zambrano Solorzano grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed the male victim across his abdomen, causing serious injury. The man had two knife wounds to his abdomen, and one on his right thigh.
The male victim was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition. The female resident was not injured.
The suspect, with the aid of his girlfriend, fled the scene.
Molina Rojas gathered their property from the hotel where they had been staying and moved it to another motel.
Deputies say she hindered the investigation by providing multiple statements to detectives and admitted to disposing of the knife used by Zambrano Solorzano.
Brayan Zambrano Solorzano was charged with Attempted Murder (2-counts, F1).
Angie Molina Rojas was charged with Accessory After the Fact (F2), False Information to LEO (F3), and Tampering with Evidence (F3).
