Pizza Delivery Driver Charged in Stabbing

Brianna Alvelo, a 22-year-old pizza delivery driver, was arrested in Kissimmee, Florida, for allegedly stabbing a pregnant woman 14 times in a violent dispute over a $2 tip. The incident occurred after Alvelo delivered a meal to a motel room where the victim, Melinda Irizarry, was staying with her boyfriend and daughter. Upset about the tip, Alvelo returned to the motel with an armed accomplice, forcibly entered the room, and launched an attack on Irizarry while threatening her family. The victim sustained multiple injuries, including a ruptured lung, and underwent surgery but is now in stable condition. Alvelo faces multiple charges, including attempted murder and home invasion, as the investigation continues. Security footage helped authorities identify Alvelo as the suspect in this shocking case of violence over a minor grievance.
