The victim, later identified as 30-year-old Adan Lopez Lorenzo, was found wrapped in a bedsheet and floating in the canal.
The Miami-Dade medical examiner later determined Lorenzo's cause of death as "sharp force injuries" and classified it as a homicide, the reports said.
Detectives identified Sonia Godinez-Lopez and her boyfriend, Alberto Godinez-Lopez, as two persons of interest and made contact with them.
