In a shocking incident that has left the community stunned, an 18-year-old woman from Miami, Jazmin Paez, was taken into custody this week for allegedly attempting to hire a hitman to murder her own 3-year-old son, as reported by the Miami-Dade police. The harrowing revelation came to light when the police were alerted by a man who runs a fake hire-an-assassin website, set up with the intent of exposing and deterring individuals seeking to commit such heinous acts. Paez has been charged with first-degree solicitation of murder and third-degree using a communications device for an unlawful purpose. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working to ascertain the motive behind this unthinkable act.
The chilling sequence of events began to unravel on Tuesday when the founder of the fake hitman website informed the police about Paez’s inquiry. Allegedly, Paez had provided the child’s photograph and address while requesting that the crime be carried out by Thursday. Swift action by the authorities allowed them to trace the IP address of the computer used to make the gruesome request, leading them to Jazmin Paez herself. Officers promptly conducted a welfare check at the child’s residence, where they found him safe and sound under the care of his grandmother, who identified him as the intended target based on the online request.
In a daring operation to apprehend Paez, investigators posed as the hired hitman and engaged in conversation with the suspect. Shockingly, Paez agreed to pay $3,000 for the execution of her own son. The police swiftly moved to her residence and arrested her without further incident. While the motive behind this horrific plot remains unknown, investigators noted that the murder-for-hire website was still accessible on Paez’s computer browser. The community is left grappling with the tragic nature of the case, and as the legal proceedings move forward, the focus now lies on ensuring justice prevails for the young child and understanding the factors that could lead to such a horrifying course of action.
