MIAMI — A 27-year-old man is facing an attempted murder charge after Miami police said he allegedly stabbed a 21-year-old man and injured a woman during an altercation at his home early Tuesday morning.
The suspect was identified in an arrest report obtained by Local 10 News on Wednesday as Daeshone Vaughn Codner.
The incident occurred just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday near the 300 block of Southwest 15th Avenue in the city’s Riverside neighborhood, authorities said.
According to the report, officers responded to a call about a man suffering from a stab wound and found the victim with a wound to the left side of his torso.
The report states that Miami Fire Rescue medics transported him to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where he underwent emergency surgery. Police said the victim was later moved to the intensive care unit and remained in critical but stable condition.
Police said they also found a 28-year-old woman with an eye injury at the scene.
According to witness statements in the report, an argument began on the home’s rear patio and escalated after the woman threw a drink at Codner.
Witnesses told detectives that Codner went back inside his home, retrieved a black steak knife from the kitchen, and later returned to the patio.
The report states that the woman told detectives Codner threw beer cans, glass bottles and plastic cups at her, striking her in the face and shoulder.
She said she fell to the ground and the other man stepped in to help, according to the report.
The woman also told investigators that when she attempted to call 911, Codner grabbed her phone and threw it, preventing her from doing so, the report states.
Police said surveillance video from Codner’s home shows him approaching the male victim while holding a knife.
According to the report, the footage shows the victim attempting to defend himself before Codner allegedly stabbed him once in the left side of his torso. Right after being stabbed, the victim grabbed his side and walked away, police confirmed.
The woman, who told detectives she had known Codner for about a month and previously had a casual sexual encounter with him, later identified him as the person who stabbed the victim and struck her with thrown objects.
When officers arrived, Codner allegedly refused commands to place his hands behind his back and resisted efforts to detain him, according to the report. Police also said he repeatedly kicked the interior of a patrol vehicle after his arrest, causing damage to the door.
After waiving his Miranda rights, Codner initially denied stabbing the victim but later stopped answering questions after detectives showed him surveillance video, the report states.
Jail records show Codner is facing one count each of attempted felony murder, tampering with a victim, battery, criminal mischief causing more than $200 but less than $1,000 in damage, and resisting an officer without violence.
As of Wednesday morning, he was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where his bond was listed as “to be set.”
A motive for the stabbing remains unclear at this time.
