A pizza delivery woman has been accused of stabbing a pregnant mum multiple times in front of her daughter – allegedly over a dispute about a tip.

Brianna Alvelo, 22, was arrested on suspicion of home invasion with a firearm, attempted murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault violations after the alleged attack on Sunday evening. Police responded to the shocking incident at a motel in Kissimmee, Florida and, ppon arrival, say they found the victim who had been stabbed multiple times.

The woman was rushed to a hospital where she is currently stable. Detectives from the force’s Violent Crimes Unit quickly identified Alvelo as a suspect and detained the woman.

It’s claimed she became angry over the tip the victim gave her after ordering a pizza from a restaurant earlier in the day. Local paper WESH reported that the meal cost $33.10, and the victim paid with a $50 bill but asked Alvelo for change. When Alvelo said she didn’t have any, the victim later paid for the meal with smaller bills, tipping her $2, reports the Mirror US.

Alvelo reportedly went back to the hotel room where she had earlier delivered pizza, this time with an unidentified male suspect brandishing a gun. Police have accused Alvelo of slashing her victim multiple times and stealing items from the room they were staying in.

A spokesperson for The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook: “It was discovered that the victim had ordered pizza from a local restaurant earlier in the evening, and Alvelo became upset about the tip she had received. Alvelo later returned to the victim’s motel room with an unknown male suspect, who was armed with a firearm, and forced their way into the room. Alvelo, who was armed with a knife, began attacking one of the victims. The victim was stabbed multiple times, and items were taken from within the room.”

Detectives subsequently issued a warrant for her arrest and launched a manhunt. Alvelo was apprehended by officers on Monday and is now held at the Osceola County Jail without bond.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson continued: “This was an isolated incident at this address, and the matter remains under investigation.”
