Woman stabs her boyfriend after fight over Valentine’s Day gift, deputies say

A woman nearly stabbed her boyfriend to death after an argument over a Valentine’s Day gift, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. She’s locked up on no bond.

The couple got into a Valentine’s Day fight, which escalated when Bentoria King, 36, armed herself with a “silver homemade knife” and attacked her boyfriend, detectives wrote in her arrest affidavit. Parts of the attack at Northwest 51st Street and 21st Avenue were recorded on CCTV and cellphone footage.

The man had puncture wounds to his neck, back, top of his head and behind an ear, deputies say. He was taken to Ryder Trauma Center by Miami Fire Rescue.

Deputies say King took off on a bicycle.

Nearly two months after the stabbing, King was found at Stay America Premier Suites in Doral and taken into custody. She admitted to being in a “altercation” with her boyfriend but denied stabbing him. She was charged with attempted murder.

On Friday, a judge issued her no bond and she remains locked up at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional as of Saturday. She is being represented by a public defender.
