His wife, 52-year-old Elba Alvarez,  was found stabbed to death Tuesday inside a home in the Flagami area, according to Miami police.

The call came into police at about 3 pm., reporting a stabbing at 200 SW 55th Ave.

When officers arrived they found a lifeless Alvarez,  according to Sgt. Freddie Cruz, department spokesman.

"We have a person of interest in custody," he said. "It could be domestic incident, but we are still investigating."
