Teacher Eliva Espinoza, 46, was stabbed to death by her pre-med student son..
Police said Emmanuel Espinoza confessed he did it because she annoyed him ..
A beloved Florida elementary school teacher was murdered by her pre-med student son because 'she got on his nerves,' police said.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said University of Florida pre-med student Emmanuel Espinoza, 21, was driving from Gainesville to Frostproof when he decided to kill his mother Saturday.
Emmanuel was traveling to attend a family event and had asked his mother, 46-year-old Elvia Espinoza, if he could stay at her house for the weekend.
He got to the second-grade teacher's house around 2 p.m., and when she opened the door, he began stabbing her.
'We talked to him and he confessed, he said "you know I have wanted to kill my mother for many many years because she got on my nerves,"' said Judd.
...
'As soon as he murdered her, he dialed 911 and immediately confessed to the 911 operators.'
The sheriff said they asked Emmanuel about his relationship with his mother and he said that he really loved her but she irritated him, so he decided to kill her.
'He knocked on the front door and when mom opened the door, he began to stab her and he stabbed her many times,' Judd said.
'She ran from him, she was talking to a family member on the phone, and in addition to that, he stabbed her until she fell down and died.'
Judd said Emmanuel has been cooperating with investigators and is charged with first-degree murder.
Polk County Public Schools confirmed to DailyMail.com Elvia was a second-grade teacher at Frostproof Ben Hill Griffin Jr. Elementary.

I wonder how many of his patients he would have killed if he hadn’t killed his mom first?
Yeah, this kid will never see the light of day again. Grady is no joke.
Her glamour is irrelevant. Yes, she s naturally beautiful, but that should not be the point.
Present Company Excepted! :)
Even Nero didn’t stab his own mother to death—he had someone else do the actual stabbing.
“Pre-med student” means nothing. I was a pre-med student for about two months until I realized that the courses are really hard. :-)
I got a D in 6th or 7th grade science once because I had missed more than a week suffering with the measles. My Dad did not tolerate anything lower than an A. I was petrified to go home. Somehow it got worked out, I had to do some extra work but my mother must have intervened on my behalf. That was in 1960 or 61.
Premed doesn’t mean anything. Yeah, he was pre med, but was he failing every course, cause he is a psychotic person just waiting to break out? Countless people are pre-med but cannot survives the rigors or just find other topics that they like better.
now he’s pre-con.
The result of removing God from the classrooms is obvious, without God there are no regrets
“We never get the ‘rest of the story’ any more.”
Ain’t that the truth! Glad to know that Polk County has a Law & Order Sheriff! We need so much MORE of that!
Adding Hurricanes to my list!
In Wisconsin we just have random Tornadoes and a Total-Life As-We-Know-It-Shut-Down Blizzard every few years to keep us in line. ;)
“DeSantis is a good gov but he sure misread the tea leaves on his potus run.”
Yep. My Governor Scott Walker did the same...going up against President Trump! He’s making good money in the Private Sector now, and I’m thinking he may NOT ever run for Public Office again - the Socialists in Madistan threatened his children, his wife, his PARENTS, his In-Laws AND his dog! Real, legitimate Death Threats! And, of course, they were NEVER called on it!
I could see Governor Walker getting ‘The Trump Treatment’ should he ever rise to that level. :(
Good People are NEVER going to win in the long run. The deck is stacked against us thanks to our Enemy Media and all of their underlings. :(
“Teacher Eliva Espinoza, 46, was stabbed to death by her pre-med student son.”
Now he’s pre-convict.
Cat 1 we sit outside and drink beer.
I think she was quite good looking in the photos. Probably “glamorous” for a schoolteacher.
It is just my thinking. The drugs he may have taken affected his impulse control. His mom may have discovered his drug use and hounded him about it. That combination caused him to snap. The death penalty is too good for him.
I would not bet the farm on it. Austin Harrouff murdered two people and if not for the Grace of God it would have been three. The Judge ruled him not guilty by reason of insanity. After a short stay in a mental hospital he will be free as a bird. If he is not already out as this happened a few years ago.
That’s definitely not true. Have faith in God. the righteous win
