(Miami, Florida) Miami-Dade Police have issued a murder warrant for a Mexican national described as a drifter in the killing of a 68-year old gay man in January.
The body of Alexio Bello, 68, was found by his housekeeper. An autopsy showed he had been stabbed to death.
The apartment had been ransacked and a pair of bloody shoes were found near the body.
The housekeeper identified the shoes as belonging to Jorge Espinoza Navarette, a young homeless man who Bello had taken in. DNA evidence and a bloody finger print found at the scene also pointed to Navarette.
He was immediately described as "a person of interest" by investigators but an arrest warrant was not issued until this week.
