Family members began to worry when they did not hear from Dominguez.
“They phoned the neighbor and asked her to check on the welfare of Ms. Dominguez," Miami-Dade Police spokesman Detective Javier Baez said. "And when she arrived at the residence, she unfortunately discovered her deceased from an apparent stab wound.”
The motive for the killing is unknown, and Baez said police don't have much to go on at this point.
