Arrest made in deadly stabbing outside TD Bank near Tamiami, sheriff's office says
An arrest has been made in a deadly stabbing near Tamiami on Monday that left one man dead and another in the hospital.
Just after 10:30 a.m., Miami-Dade Sheriff's deputies and fire rescue units were sent to a TD Bank at Bird Road and SW 112 Avenue to check out reports that two men had been stabbed.
When deputies arrived, they took Jorge Pau-Figueroa, 33, into custody, according to the sheriff's office.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took two men with stab wounds to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital where one of them died. The other was listed as stable.
Investigators learned the two men and Pau-Figueroa knew each other and the stabbings happened during a heated argument, according to the arrest report.
"The argument escalated to the point where the defendant produced a knife, cutting the surviving victim on his extremity and stabbing the deceased victim in his head," according to the report.
When Pau-Figueroa was taken into custody, the sheriff's office said two fixed blade knives were found concealed within his waistband, one of which was bloodied.
During questioning, Pau-Figueroa waived his rights and provided a full confession, according to homicide investigators.
He's been charged with one count of second degree murder and one count of attempted second degree murder.

The incident, captured on a Ring camera, unfolded Monday shortly before 3 p.m. at a residence in the 2700 block of NW 5th Street, police said. Police said Rodrigo Mendizabal, 29, faces charges of aggravated assault on a person 65 or older with a deadly weapon and improper exhibition of a firearm. What led to the arrest, according to police The altercation began when the victim, who was driving by, noticed a mango tree and sought permission to pick some fruit, the report said. The victim told the responding officer that a woman at the residence allowed him to take mangos, according to the arrest report. After some time, the woman grew impatient and called Mendizabal to address the victim's delay. The victim explained he had permission and the woman confirmed she allowed him to take two or three mangos, according to the police report. As the victim walked toward his vehicle to leave, Mendizabal followed him to the sidewalk, pulled out a black gun, racked the slide and said, "I'm going to shoot you," the victim told police.

Mendizabal denied pointing a gun at the victim but admitted owning one inside his home, according to the report.

Video shows Brad Lander being arrested by ICE agents
Brad Lander, New York City's comptroller and a Democratic candidate for mayor, was arrested at immigration court in Manhattan Tuesday. U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Lander was arrested for assaulting law enforcement and impeding a federal officer. "No one is above the law, and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences," a DHS spokesperson said. Lander's wife Meg Barnette held a news conference after he was detained, saying they were at court to observe immigration hearings. She said Lander repeatedly asked in court to see the judicial warrant and grounds for deportation when they linked arms with the person the court hearing was about. "We asked numerous times for the warrant, for their names, for their badge numbers. It was unclear what agency they were from, they're in full uniform, in many cases, with a mask pulled up over the bridge of their nose," said Barnette. "So Brad, I assume, was saying, 'I am an American citizen, I am asking you for the judicial warrant, you do not have grounds to arrest me.'" Much of Lander's arrest was captured on video, which shows Lander holding onto another person. Lander can be seen surrounded by agents as he asks "Do you have a judicial warrant? Can I see the warrant? I will let go when I see the warrant. Where is it? Where is the warrant?" "You're obstructing," someone can be heard saying, and then Lander is separated from the person he was holding onto. Lander can be seen in the video being pressed against a wall while surrounded by three people, who then pressed him against the wall. "You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens," Lander said as he was placed in handcuffs. "I'm not obstructing. I'm standing right here in the hallway ... I asked to see the judicial warrant ... you don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant." The video shows a handcuffed Lander being escorted down the hallway while agents grip his arms. As they were waiting for the elevator, Lander's press secretary could be heard identifying herself and asking where he was being taken. She received no reply.
