A 22-year-old woman, Yesenia Sofia Gonzalez-Aleaga, has been arrested and charged with Attempted Murder in the First Degree after allegedly stabbing a store clerk at the Smoke Shop located at 14111 Belcher Road on Monday.
Largo Police responded to a call just before noon and found the victim being held down by a good samaritan and the suspect. Officers provided aid to the victim, who was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries but is now in stable condition and expected to recover fully.
Investigation revealed that Gonzalez-Aleaga entered the store, asked the victim for an item on a lower shelf, and then stabbed him multiple times with a knife she took from her purse as he bent down.
Largo Detectives are currently working to determine a motive, as the victim and suspect were not known to each other. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
