Quote:A 27-year-old woman who was killed in Shakopee on Aug. 12 has been identified as Enedelia Perez Garcia, 27, and on Tuesday prosecutors charged an illegal immigrant, Fraider Diaz-Carbajal, 35, with second-degree murder (not premeditated) in her death.

After Diaz-Carbajal was arrested, deportation officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed an immigration detainer with the Scott County Jail on Carbajal for suspected immigration violations, according to ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer.

Diaz-Carbajal’s criminal history includes numerous misdemeanor convictions, including three DUIs and one felony domestic assault conviction. On Dec. 17, 2012, a federal immigration judge ordered Diaz-Carbajal deported to Mexico, and ICE officers removed him two days later, according to Neudauer. Since then he illegally re-entered the United States, which is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison.

At about 4:02 p.m. on Aug. 12, Shakopee police were dispatched to a fight call involving a knife at Diaz-Carbajal’s townhome, 1279 Taylor St., No. 6., and while on the way to the Taylor Ridge Towhomes, they were told a male had a knife and a female was possibly dead.

According to the charging documents, officers found a bloody scene in the upstairs bedroom: Diaz-Carbajal was lying with his head resting on the stomach and chest of Garcia, who was sitting on the floor with her back against the wall and did not appear to be breathing. Diaz-Carbajal’s throat was cut with a 6 to 8-inch-long laceration and there were several stab wounds in his abdomen. He was “taking occasional breaths and moving” and a large, bloody knife was at his left side.

Garcia had a large amount of blood around her neck and head area, “multiple stab wounds all over her body,” had no pulse and was not breathing.

Quote:Diaz-Carbajal’s roommate saw the assault and told police — with the assistance of a neighbor, because she doesn’t speak English — Diaz-Carbajal stabbed Garcia in the “whole body” and then cut his own throat. The witness then grabbed her baby and ran to a neighbor’s apartment. Later, at the police station, the roommate said Diaz-Carbajal and Garcia had been dating for three years but broke up about a month ago.

She told police at about 3:30 p.m., she took her 7-month-old and 2-year old upstairs to the bathroom to give them a bath and about 15 minutes later, she heard the two arguing, heard Perez Garcia screaming and yelling “drop the knife” so she left her children in the bathroom and went into Diaz-Carbajal’s room and saw that he had Garcia pinned up next to the bed and was stabbing her, and then she saw him stab himself, so she grabbed her kids and ran to a neighbor’s.

That is another thing too - the cultural part. In Mexican culture, it is considered to be a part of great Machismo to drive drunk. Here in the States it is considered to be a shameful and dangerous act.
