A 32-year-old Cuban woman named Indira Almaguer was fatally stabbed on Tuesday in Louisville, Kentucky, allegedly by her ex-partner, Marcelino Fonseca, who is also of Cuban nationality. This information was revealed by local media and confirmed by family sources on social media.
Shortly before 1 PM, the Louisville Metro Police responded to an emergency call at a residence. Upon arrival, they found a woman inside who had been the victim of multiple stab wounds—17 in total, according to a family source on social media, who stated that the attacker showed extreme violence towards Indira.
Neighbors initially provided assistance, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived shortly after with the police to transport her to the University Hospital of Louisville. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, she could not be saved.
The Louisville Police Department has launched an operation to locate Marcelino Fonseca, who fled the scene. After committing the murder, Fonseca allegedly called his family to confess what he had done and mentioned his intention to hang himself, according to crime reporter Niover Licea.
In recent days, the Louisville police have intensified their search efforts to find Fonseca. Both Indira and Marcelino were originally from Cacocum in the province of Holguín.
