According to Detective Angel Rodriguez, who is also a spokesman for Miami-Dade Police Department, officers responded to a call of an adult female having been stabbed by her husband.
Rodriguez said that upon arrival, units discovered an adult female dead at the scene.
Miami-Dade police detectives were at the scene where they have been speaking to neighbors around the area.
