Authorities have arrested a suspect in connection with a heinous attack on a 12-year-old Miami-area boy on Saturday.
Police say that a suspect abducted the unnamed child, raped him, and shot him in the face before dumping him on the side of the road.
What are the details? According to WPLG-TV, bystanders discovered a bloodied child wandering around a neighborhood in Miami-Dade County during the early hours of Saturday morning.
He was screaming, "Help, someone, help me, please."
A man who identified himself by only his first name, Johnny, said that he discovered the boy in the city streets and escorted him to a nearby convenience store for help.
"I bring him to the store so they can call the police for him," he told the outlet, noting that he did not have his own phone. "He was conscious, then he fell on the sidewalk and said he had been shot."
Surveillance video captured the moment Johnny and the young boy arrived at the store. The video showed the child collapsing while another bystander called 911. Another bystander, according to the outlet, brought the child a towel and a bottle of water while they all waited for first responders to arrive on the scene.
Authorities said that the boy was walking around the Brownsville area earlier in the evening when a man pulled up, forced the child into the vehicle, sexually assaulted him, and shot him in the face. He then forced the child out of the vehicle.
What are the latest details? On Tuesday morning, authorities arrested 43-year-old Aliex Santiesteban in connection with the attack.
He was booked into the Miami-Dade jail on charges of sexual battery with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, and attempted murder, authorities said.
In a Monday news conference, Miami-Dade police spokesperson Alvaro Zabaleta said that the child locks were activated during the attack, which prevented the child from getting out of the vehicle.
Zabaleta said that the child was eventually able to fight the suspect off — but then the suspect reportedly shot him in the face and shoved him out of the vehicle.
"The young boy says he couldn't see at the time," Zabaleta told reporters. "He had lost his sight and he was using his touch to find his way around trying to seek help."
As of Monday, the unnamed boy — who was hospitalized in critical condition — was stable and recovering.
"He still has a long way ahead as far as his recovery is concerned," Zabaleta said. "It's devastating to know that this individual, not only did he have to live the traumatic incident of being sexually assaulted, but then at the same time be shot in the face."
The child, Zabaleta said, was out so late at night because he had reportedly snuck out of the house to visit friends without telling his parents. He left pillows stacked in his bed in case his parents decided to check on him. The child was reportedly on his way home when he was approached by the suspect.
demons, demon possession or is it devolution - people who have gone the opposite was of evolved - devolved.
Screw that..... public stoning.
And every one of them has a blog.
Just put a .45 thru his head then burn the carcass.
Pull his name up online and see the picture. That answers the first one.
Second is just a guess.
Sex crimes and alcohol comprise the majority of Hispanic crimes.
Death by scaphism for those that harm children.
He should be given a trial by a jury of peers. And then, once convicted, he should be remanded to the custody of the menfolk of the boy’s family and/or neighborhood to render whatever justice they see fit so long as they promise to properly dispose of the body. And by ‘properly dispose,’ of course I mean feed it to the pigs.
Haitian?
“Florida Man Stops Short of Cannibalism.”
Name sure doesn’t sound hispanic to me. And he could be one of dozens of nationalities from the picture. And you know what? IT DOESN”T MATTER. He’s a scumbag pedo, and I don’t give flying f*ck what nationality he is.
You see, because unlike the libs (which you apparently are), I judge people as individuals and don’t rush to figure out what “group” is responsible when an INDIVIDUAL commits a crime.
Nary a word about the dude continuing to play with his phone as a bloody kid literally drops in front of him. I’m sorry, but that’s psychopathic in its own right.
With a dull rusty knife.
“The child, Zabaleta said, was out so late at night because he had reportedly snuck out of the house to visit friends without telling his parents.”
So it’s NOT the fault of the attacker, at least according to the Democrats.


This proves there is a Heaven because God created Hell just for people like him.
I vote the ‘modern way’ ... long needle, some adrenaline, some potassium hcl, and a squirt of alcohol, up through the sinus into the frontal lobes, both sides. Then teach it to rake leaves and pick oranges.
His last name is Spanish as in from Spain. It’s a derivative of St. Stephen. So yes he is hispanic.
Even better.
Damn.... I would love to meet that F’r...... 1/2 hour out back of the wood shed!
Fantastic. Does it matter?
