Makinson Devalcin (Osceola County Jail).
A Florida man is accused of stabbing his girlfriend to death with a kitchen knife while the victim’s daughter was home and on the phone with 911.
Makinson Devalcin, 45, faces charges in the death of Enese Pierre, court documents said.
She was killed on Sunday. An affidavit outlines the allegations.
Deputies responded to a town house in Davenport on a stabbing call. The victim’s daughter said her stepfather was armed with a rifle and said her mother — later identified as Pierre — had been stabbed and bleeding, court documents said.
Deputies found the suspect at the top of a staircase, lying face down at the entrance of a bedroom. He had a cut on his neck and was unconscious but still showing signs of life and was hospitalized, the affidavit said.
In the bedroom on the bed, deputies found Pierre dead from a stab wound to her neck, covered in blood. A bloody knife lay on the floor, authorities said.
A roommate told deputies she heard screaming and woke up, went to the master bedroom, and saw the victim bleeding, but when the roommate tried to go inside, the defendant pushed her away, and she went back downstairs, investigators said.
The victim’s daughter said her mom came home around 1:40 a.m. and told her goodnight. Later, she said she heard her mom yelling, “Help! He is trying to kill me,” the affidavit said.
She got up from bed and exited her room, walking toward her mom’s room. As she neared the master bedroom, she could hear her mom yelling for help, according to court documents.
As she got near the room, she could see her mom was injured and bleeding. Her mom told her to call 911, the documents said.
When she returned to her mom’s room, she said there was more blood on the bed around her mom, and her mom was no longer speaking, the affidavit said.
She said her stepfather got up from the bed, grabbed a knife and said, “no one messes with me,” according to the document.
The knife found in the bedroom appeared to belong in the kitchen, as the sheath for this knife was in a kitchen drawer, investigators added.
The affidavit does not say when or how the defendant was cut and wounded.
He was being held without bail.
