MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A woman with deep South Florida roots who was injured in a domestic incident allegedly with her son has passed away.
Rachel Knaus Grafe, the owner of Knaus Berry Farm, passed away Sunday afternoon, according to the farm’s Instagram page.
Police arrested her son, 40-year-old Travis Grafe, after he allegedly attacked Knaus Grafe and his father, Herbert Grafe, on Feb. 17 at their home near the intersection of Coconut Palm Drive and Newton Road, according to an arrest report.
According to the report, the couple was violently attacked with a flashlight.
Travis Grafe has remained behind bars since being initially arrested last month.
He is facing one count of premeditated attempted murder, two counts of aggravated battery and attempted strongarm robbery, but those charges may change following Knaus Graffe’s death.
Knaus Berry Farm will be open Monday and for the rest of the week, with a plan to “celebrate her life.”
