Miami-Dade Man Arrested for Attempted Murder in Domestic Stabbing

Manuel Salgado Pena was arrested after stabbing his ex-girlfriend multiple times in a violent domestic attack at their northwest Miami-Dade home, witnessed by her young daughter. The victim sustained life-threatening injuries to her lung, liver, kidney, and heart and is currently in critical condition. The attack occurred on July 24, and Salgado Pena fled the scene before being captured after an eight-day manhunt. Charges against him include attempted felony murder causing injury, armed burglary with assault or battery, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The victim's family revealed a history of harassment and domestic violence following the end of their relationship ten months prior, with the victim even relocating out of Florida to escape him. Authorities continue to investigate the motive, but the incident highlights ongoing concerns about domestic violence and intimate partner safety in the Miami-Dade area.
