MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A southwest Miami-Dade man showed up to a home near Tropical Park on Thursday morning and announced he was there to stab someone named “Cesar,” sheriff’s deputies said. They said he ended up stabbing another resident instead.

According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened just after 5 a.m. at a home in the 4100 block of Southwest 83rd Avenue in the unincorporated Olympia Heights area.

According to an MDSO arrest report, Yury Lobaina Terrero walked up to the victim, who was outside near his driveway, and “became aggressive,” telling him he was “there in order to stab ‘Cesar,’” who lives in an efficiency at the home.

The report states that the victim told detectives that Lobaina, 38, “also threatened to stab him and proceed(ed) to show an imprint of a knife underneath his clothing.”

As the victim walked back to his home, Lobaina followed the man to his front door and “stabbed him once in the chest with a sharp instrument, causing serious injury,” the report states.

Authorities said the victim, who went to Jackson South Medical Center for treatment, has known Lobaina for about a year.

Deputies said surveillance video showed Lobaina removing his clothing and discarding several items onto a sidewalk, including a cellphone. They said they later found the bloodied knife inside of a trash bin.

They said they also found a vial of lidocaine in Lobaina’s clothes. Authorities said they found him later that evening at his home a few blocks northwest of the scene and took him into custody on charges of attempted murder and drug possession.

Deputies said he confirmed that it was his cellphone on the ground but “denied any other involvement.”

As of Friday morning, Lobaina was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, with a bond listed as “to be set” in Miami-Dade jail records.
