Police say DNA evidence and "good old-fashioned police work" led them to 43-year-old Aliex Santiesteban, who is charged him with several counts, including sexual battery with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and attempted murder.
Santiesteban's ex-girlfriend, Yordana Aguilar, spoke with NBC 6 exclusively and said she was with him the night of the arrest. Aguilar said he had been acting "nervous" and added he was emotionally unstable and had aggressive and violent tendencies.
Criticism of the latest hire of Miami police chief Art Acevedo could lead to a new hiring process at Miami city hall. Commissioners will soon debate whether to change the city charter so they get the final say on key public safety positions.
