Jaqueline Rodriguez, aged 41, faces charges of aggravated battery causing significant injury. According to a probable cause affidavit, the confrontation occurred just past midnight on April 28, 2025, in an apartment located on the 300 block of NW 177th Street in Miami. Police were called to the scene after neighbors reported hearing what sounded like gunshots from a first-floor apartment. Upon arrival, officers noticed blood marks on the apartment’s front door.
Despite knocking, the police received no answer and, given the urgent situation, they entered the apartment forcefully. Inside, they discovered blood covering the floor and a man with multiple cuts and scrapes. He informed officers that Rodriguez had wielded a knife during their altercation, which he described as unwarranted.
The victim identified Rodriguez as the mother of his child.
He went on to identify the suspect as his “baby mama.”
The victim told cops Rodriguez became upset when she found out he was having sex with her sister and a fight ensued, the affidavit said. She then allegedly pulled out a knife and started attacking him.
“Based on the testimony of [the victim], it is believed Ms. Rodriguez tried to cause great bodily harm and permanent disfigurement,” cops wrote.
The victim refused to make a sworn statement but cops took photos of his injuries. Cops arrested Rodriguez around 1 a.m. on Sunday. It’s unclear why it took cops nearly a year to arrest her. She’s also facing burglary and grand theft charges after she and a man allegedly stole $14,000 worth of items from a vehicle after a car crash that occurred about three months before the stabbing.
Rodriguez remains in the custody of Miami-Dade Corrections without bond.
