GAINESVILLE, Fla. – In the early hours today, police apprehended 29-year-old Tammara Aaliyh Mosely following accusations of stabbing a family member.
Responding to a call around 12:20 a.m. on June 14, an officer from the Gainesville Police Department arrived at Candlelight Estates Mobile Home Park located at 1600 NE 12th Avenue. Upon arrival, the officer discovered Mosely with blood on her, as well as the injured victim. Mosely allegedly indicated she needed to leave and compliantly placed her hands behind her back. The officer soon realized the blood on Mosely was not her own.
The victim claimed he had been stabbed, and Mosely reportedly confessed to injuring him, stating she “needed to just go.” Consequently, the officer handcuffed Mosely.
Fortunately, the officer noted that the victim’s wounds did not seem to be life-threatening.
The victim said he had been singing as he walked by Mosely’s room, and Mosely thought he was “talking bad about her,” so they started arguing. He said Mosely swung a glass bottle at him, and then another family member separated them.
The victim said Mosely came to his bedroom, holding a knife, and swung the knife at him multiple times, cutting him on his shoulder, upper back, and head. The victim said Mosely has mental issues and “always causes problems.”
Post Miranda, Mosely reportedly said she had been upset at another family member when the victim started antagonizing her, and they got into an argument. She said the victim attacked her and choked her, but then she reportedly contradicted herself by saying he hadn’t been able to choke her. She said she picked up a glass liquor bottle and swung it at the victim in self-defense before the other family member separated them. She reportedly said she “had to finish what she started” because of an undiagnosed mental problem, so she picked up a large kitchen knife, went to the victim’s room, and stabbed him multiple times.
Mosely has been charged with domestic aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and domestic aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She has no local criminal history. Judge David Kreider ordered her held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s Office to hold her without bail until trial; if the judge denies the motion, bail will be set at that hearing.
