Woman drugged men, stole Rolex watches and cash in Miami, Doral and Miami Beach, police say
A woman was arrested on Monday after she allegedly stole expensive jewelry — including Rolex watches — from three men in different incidents across South Florida: first in Doral, then in Miami and later in Miami Beach, according to authorities.
Angelina Chenel Esty, a 25-year-old from Pompano Beach, is facing grand theft and burglary charges, according to three arrest reports.
March 11: E11even Miami
The first incident was reported when a man said he came back to his apartment in Doral around 7:15 a.m. with a woman he met at club E11even Miami. The man told police that after they had drinks he became "very sick" before passing out.
The victim told officers that when he woke up the woman was missing — and so was his Rolex.
According to police, surveillance video surveillance the Esty leaving the apartment and getting into an Uber. When police tracked down the Uber, Esty was identified as the customer, one arrest report stated.

March 22: Brickell
The second incident was reported after a man said he met two women at Blackbird, an upscale lounge and bar in Brickell.
According to police, the victim said they partied and drank before he allegedly took an Uber with one of the women to his apartment around 4:45 a.m.
The woman, identified in the report as "Ciara," then asked if she could bring her friend "Regina" and the victim said agreed. Regina reportedly arrived around 6 a.m. and the three drank for an hour, according to an arrest form.
The man told police he went to bed with one of the women while the other stayed in the living room.
According to police, the man was woken up by the two women leaving his apartment. The victim told police his room was destroyed and that items were missing, including a Rolex watch valued at $11,000, $8,000 in cash and designer sunglasses, the report said.
Police say shoes and a purse were left behind as well as an ID card that belonged to Angelina Chenel Esty.
April 21: The Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel
According to police, around 4 a.m., Esty approached the third victim at the the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel lobby after he came back from a night out.
Police say the man and Etsy spoke briefly before going up to his hotel room.
The victim told police that he accepted a drink from Etsy, removed his Rolex and bracelet, put them into his jacket pocket and said he fell asleep shortly after.
When the man woke up around 8 a.m. he realized that Etsy was not in his hotel room and that his $20,000 Rolex and diamond bracelet, worth $10,000, were gone, according to the arrest report.
Detectives were able pull up security footage from the hotel and saw Etsy, who was also wanted for other theft incidents.
The man was able to identify Etsy through a photograph line-up.

Pinellas sheriff: Daughter was ‘fed up' with father when she shot him during custody exchange
PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The Pinellas County sheriff said Monday a man who was shot by his own daughter is out of surgery and is in stable condition. The shooting happened at 9 a.m. Sunday at the sheriff office administration building on Ulmerton Road in Largo. The victim's daughter is now facing first-degree attempted murder charges. Pinellas man blames error on state report for uptick in car insurance rates Detectives said Rogerio Nascimento went to PCSO's administrative building Sunday for a child custody exchange and was meeting his estranged wife there. Signs in the parking lot say it's supposed to be a safe zone. Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said Nascimento's daughter, 28-year-old Gabriella Nascimento, previously chaperoned the visitations, but that changed. The sheriff said they weren't expecting her to be there, then an argument broke out. 'One of the children has a medical condition that is adversely affected by smoking, and he was standing outside smoking, so they all got into an argument about him smoking in front of this 4-year-old girl,' Gualtieri said. The sheriff said Gabriella confronted her father about the smoking. He said she got her gun out of the car and shot her father in the back. The man ran into the lobby of the sheriff's office to try and get help, when Gabriella fired another shot. The sheriff said she missed and shot the window of the sheriff's office. The department said the window had since been replaced. But 8 On Your Side saw this window Monday night with what looked like a hole in the middle. 'The adult daughter was just fed up with him and the way he's acted and the way he's treated the family, and she acted violently, which is wrong,' Gualtieri said. Court documents show a woman with the same last name filed a domestic violence injunction against Rogerio in 2023. News Channel 8 On Your Side could not access the documents but the exhibits said they include photos of the petitioners bruised arm, face, and black eyes. Mindy Murphy is the CEO of The Spring Tampa Bay, a domestic violence center. She spoke generically about the case when asked about if changes should be made to child custody exchange orders. 'The reality is if somebody is intent on doing harm, it only takes seconds,' Murphy said. 'It's awful when, you know, when victims feel like they have no other recourse but to take matters into their own hands.' The sheriff said Gabriella refused to be interviewed and wouldn't talk to detectives. The sheriff said this is what happens when people are frustrated. 'She acted criminally. She tried to kill her father — you can't do that, there's other ways to work these things out,' Gualtieri said. 'There was such tension and animosity between these people it probably was going to happen anyway.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Bridging the gap: Miami-Dade youth program builds bonds between youth and MDSO deputies
In neighborhoods across Miami-Dade County, an after-school program is transforming how young people see law enforcement and how they see themselves. The Youth Outreach Unit, or YOU Program, is a mentorship initiative run by deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office. Developed by Mayor Daniella Levine Cava's office in 2021, the program serves students ages 10 to 17, many of whom have been directly or indirectly impacted by violence. For students like Nyla Theodore and William Gray, the experience has been nothing short of life-changing. "This was really my first time talking to police officers, like really talking to them," said Theodore. "Honestly, they've been amazing, real good," added Gray. "If I get angry about something, they'll try to do something with me to keep me calm and meditation, so I don't get overreacted." From fear to family Every weekday, deputies pick up participating students from school. They help with homework, provide transportation to extracurricular activities, and even ensure the kids get dinner before heading home. It's a level of care and attention that, for many families, has brought peace of mind and a powerful shift in perspective. "I was nervous and I was afraid of them," Gray admitted, "but then when I constantly kept coming—I started not to get afraid because I knew there was nothing bad or suspicious going on." Gray's mom, Tameka West, says the difference in her son is clear. "Since he started this program, I seen a little big change when it comes to his behavior," she said. "I just love these officers. They're like my family — and when I met them — they stuck with me. They can't go nowhere. I love them to death, I love them." For Theodore's mom, Nicolette Wright, the YOU Program has helped her daughter come out of her shell. "She's been more active, more social and it's been great for her," said Wright. "She loves coming here every day and she loves all of the officers." "As a mom, I know I feel way more comfortable with my child being around a bunch of officers," she continued. "It means a lot to me and they've been nothing but amazing. Very communicative, very upbeat and just helpful in all ways." Mentorship that matters While the program's focus is on youth affected by gun violence, it also supports kids impacted by other forms of trauma—or those simply in need of structure and support. "We provide mentorship for kids that have been affected by primarily gun violence," said Deputy Emory Hudson, who joined the program last year. "But we also know that violence affects children in different ways, so we also extend the program to youth that have been affected by other forms of violence as well." The goal is not only to keep kids out of trouble but to build trust and restore stability. "They're impacted so dramatically that they have a hard time functioning in school or in everyday life," Deputy Hudson said. "We try to mentor them, we try to guide them down the right path, and we try to re-establish that stability within the household." With over 50 students currently enrolled, the YOU Program is creating safer communities—not just by policing them, but by connecting with them on a deeply human level.

Mural honoring Black history in Miami vandalized with racist graffiti, organizer says
A mural celebrating African American history at Dorsey Park in Miami's Overtown neighborhood has been defaced with racist graffiti, including a swastika and the N-word, according to organizers of the project. The vandalism appeared on a section of the mural at NW 17th St. and NW 1st Ave., part of a historic public art effort led by the MLK Mural Project, Urgent Inc., and Touching Miami with Love. Painted in 2012, the mural was created to honor the cultural legacy of Dorsey Park, once home to the Negro Leagues' Ethiopian Clowns. Artist and community organizer Kyle Holbrook, who founded the MLK Mural Project, led the effort to commemorate African American icons and local history. The mural features figures such as Jackie Robinson, whose image was among those defaced. "This was an act of hate, but it will not define us," Holbrook said. "This mural was born from a community's pride, history, and power. We will restore it—stronger, bolder, and with even more purpose. Black history is American history. And no spray paint can erase that truth." Local leaders, artists and residents are organizing efforts to restore and expand the mural, using the incident as a call for unity. Community members are being encouraged to participate in the restoration process as a show of resilience and solidarity. The mural's original goal, to uplift African-American stories and legacy, now carries an added message: that hate cannot erase history, organizers said.
