N. Miami Police Capture Woman For Driving Over, Killing Another
NORTH MIAMI (CBS4) -- North Miami Police charged a woman with one count of second degree murder after they said she intentionally drove over another woman and killing her after a fight in a neighborhood bar parking lot.
Police arrested the woman Friday afternoon. She was also charged with attempted second degree murder of a man she also struck, but who was not seriously injured, CBS4's Gary Nelson reported.
According to North Miami police spokesman Maj. Neal Cuevas, two women were fighting in the parking lot of Billy's Pub Too, located at 732 NE 125th Street around 3:47 a.m.
Police say 29-year-old Maria Tellez and 25-year-old Paola Cordoba were arguing in the parking lot as Tellez sat in her dark-colored BMW SUV.
Suddenly, witnesses told police, the argument turned physical when Tellez got out of the SUV and pushed Cordoba to the ground.
Witnesses said Tellez then got back into the SUV, with an unidentified woman in the passenger seat. Tellez then began to rev the engine and sped out of the parking spot before she struck and drove right over Cordoba, according to police.
"The driver of the BMW, the person we are looking for, we're describing as the killer in this case, came out of the car, she pushed the victim on the ground, she got back in the car, drove over the victim, drove through the parking lot, backed up and fled northbound from here," said Maj. Cuevas.
When Tellez left the parking lot, she headed Northbound on NE 7th Avenue, while Cordoba was left to die on the pavement in the parking lot. Cordoba was pronounced deceased on the scene by Miami Dade Fire Rescue.
It's not known what the argument between the two women was about.
"This is obviously a person who has no regard for human life," said Cuevas.
