Sunrise man arrested in girlfriend’s stabbing death has a history of restraining orders

A Sunrise man was arrested on a murder charge around 2 a.m. Thursday, about 18 hours after police found his girlfriend with her throat slashed in the home they own together.

The arrest report says their 3-year-old son also was in the house when cops arrived.

Even before Wednesday’s death of Belkis Rosales, 28-year-old Kacey Wilson had a history of violence with women.

Broward County court records show a woman got a temporary restraining order against Wilson in 2011 for dating violence. That lasted only two weeks, but the two-week restraining order that a different woman filed against Wilson in 2013 for dating violence was extended to a full year by the court.

In between those restraining orders, Wilson pleaded no contest to prowling/loitering and trespassing in a 2012 incident. He paid a $333 fine. His own application for a restraining order against a woman for stalking in 2016 got rejected.

Wilson and Rosales bought the home at 4738 NW 89th Ave. together in March 2017.

Wilson’s mother told detectives, “Wilson and Rosales had a rocky relationship and that they were going to seek counseling,” the report reads. “She further stated that Rosales drove her to work this morning. On the way to work, Wilson called Rosales and stated that he was going to lose his job because of her. She indicated that there is a past history of domestic disturbances, with a recent one in June, during which Kacey threatened to kill himself with a box cutter.”

A 911 call from Wilson and Rosales drew police to the home Wednesday morning.

According to the arrest report:

During the 911 call, both Wilson and Rosales screamed to hurry up, she was bleeding and their address. But, also, the 911 operator heard, Rosales scream “He’s stabbing me! Stop! Kacey, stop! Why would you do this to me? Stop” as well as “He’s killing me” and “I’m dying.”

The call cut off and when Broward County dispatch reestablished contact, “Kacey Wilson identified himself by first and last name and explained that he was Belkis Rosales’ boyfriend.”

Wilson said Rosales tried to stab him. The call cut off again as the 911 operator asked Wilson to stay at the home until police got there. Once again, the 911 operator got Wilson on the line. He told the operator he hadn’t left the home, but he was described as “evasive” when the operator tried to talk him through CPR.

The report declares, “By listening to the 911 tape, it was apparent Kacey was inside of a moving vehicle.”

A later conversation with Rosales mother (and examination of her cell phone call history) says Wilson called at 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, four minutes after the 911 call ended, to tell her to pick up the 3-year-old.

Cops say they found Rosales around 8:20 a.m., dead on the kitchen floor, blood pooling around her.

They found the 3-year-old boy “hiding and crying in an upstairs bedroom closet.”
