Pregnant woman is stabbed 14 times in front of her daughter, 5, and boyfriend ‘over pizza delivery tip’
A DELIVERY driver allegedly stabbed a pregnant woman more than a dozen times in front of her daughter and boyfriend after she left a bad tip for her pizza.
Cops arrested Brianna Alvelo, 22, after they found her alleged victim with stab wounds covering her chest, arms, legs, and stomach at a motel in Kissimmee, Florida, just 20 miles south of Orlando.
Alvelo was charged with pushing her way into a pregnant woman’s motel room and stabbing her after delivering a pizza to her family on Sunday, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman ordered a pizza and wings from Marco’s Pizza shop while she was celebrating her boyfriend’s birthday with him and her five-year-old daughter, according to NBC affiliate WESH.
The pizza cost $33.10, and the woman gave Alvelo $50, expecting change before Alvelo started walking away.
When the woman asked for her change, Alvelo told her she didn’t have any, according to an arrest report obtained by WESH.
After searching for smaller bills, the victim ended up tipping Alvelo just $2, she later told cops.
Alvelo “rolled her eyes and walked away without saying anything,” the report said.
Later that night, the victim heard a loud knock on the door while the group was sleeping in the motel – and then chaos ensued.
A man and a woman in masks then forced their way into the motel room with a gun, cops said.
The armed pair forced the victim’s boyfriend to lock himself in the bathroom while they went through her purse and broke her daughter’s Nintendo Switch.
The victim later told cops she turned away from the masked woman to shield her daughter when she was stabbed for the first time.
She was then stabbed 13 more times with a pocket knife as she protected her daughter.
Cops say the mom tried to grab her phone, but the masked woman, later identified by police as Alvelo, smashed it.
The two masked criminals fled the motel with a few stolen items when the man told her it was time to go, leaving the victim bloody and terrified, she told cops.
The victim was rushed to the hospital, where she had surgery for a ruptured lung.

While at the hospital, the woman found out she was a few weeks pregnant, court documents said.

SOLVING THE CRIME
Cops used security footage to identify Alvelo as the alleged suspect in the crime.
Deputies also found the car Alvelo used during the pizza delivery matched the car the masked duo drove when they came to the motel room, according to WESH.
The OCSO hasn’t returned The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
Alvelo was arrested on Monday on charges of home invasion with a firearm, attempted murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault.
She remains in jail with no bond, according to online records.
Ahead of her first court appearance on Thursday, Alvelo asked for an attorney to be appointed to her.
