CUTLER BAY, Fla. — A 21-year-old man from southwest Miami-Dade is facing an attempted murder charge after deputies said he repeatedly stabbed another man inside a McDonald’s in Cutler Bay on Wednesday afternoon.
According to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 2:20 p.m. to the restaurant, located at 10855 Caribbean Blvd., after receiving reports of a stabbing.
Investigators identified the suspect in an arrest report as Jarvon Moreland, of West Perrine.
The report states that the victim was seated at a table inside the restaurant when Moreland approached him and stabbed him multiple times with a knife, causing “serious bodily injuries.”
According to detectives, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel transported the victim to Jackson South Medical Center for emergency treatment.
Investigators said Moreland fled before deputies arrived, but a be-on-the-lookout alert was issued shortly afterward, and he was later detained near a bus stop along Southwest 107th Avenue, less than a mile from the scene.
“The scene consisted of several blood spots located on the floor within the business,” deputies wrote in the report.
Detectives said surveillance video captured the entire attack and showed the suspect repeatedly stabbing the victim before running away.
According to the report, detectives later found a bloody knife near where Moreland was detained. A woman who was with him at the time gave a sworn statement and identified him as the attacker, investigators said.
Authorities said Moreland later waived his Miranda rights and provided a full confession regarding his involvement in the incident, admitting to stabbing the victim multiple times inside the restaurant.
Jail records show Moreland is facing one count of attempted second-degree murder.
As of Thursday morning, he was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where his bond was listed as “to be set.”
Moreland’s arrest report did not state whether he knew the victim, and a motive for the stabbing remains unclear at this time.
