Inset: Jaqueline Rodriguez (Miami-Dade Corrections). Background: The 300 block of NW 177th Street in Miami, Florida, where Rodriguez allegedly stabbed the father of her child (Google Maps).

Jaqueline Rodriguez, 41, faces charges of aggravated battery causing significant injury. According to an arrest affidavit, the altercation occurred just after midnight on April 28, 2025, at a Miami apartment located in the 300 block of NW 177th Street. Residents alerted authorities after hearing what they believed were gunshots emanating from a first-floor unit. Upon arrival, officers noticed bloodstains on the apartment’s entrance.

Despite knocking, officers received no reply, prompting them to enter the apartment due to pressing circumstances. Inside, they discovered blood pooled on the floor and encountered a victim with multiple cuts and abrasions. The victim explained that Rodriguez had wielded a knife against him during their confrontation, describing the attack as unexpected and unwarranted, as noted in the affidavit.

Identifying Rodriguez as his “baby mama,” the victim recounted that the altercation erupted when Rodriguez learned of his affair with her sister. During the ensuing argument, Rodriguez allegedly brandished a knife and began stabbing him.

He went on to identify the suspect as his “baby mama.”

The victim told cops Rodriguez became upset when she found out he was having sex with her sister and a fight ensued, the affidavit said. She then allegedly pulled out a knife and started attacking him.

“Based on the testimony of [the victim], it is believed Ms. Rodriguez tried to cause great bodily harm and permanent disfigurement,” cops wrote.

The victim refused to make a sworn statement but cops took photos of his injuries. Cops arrested Rodriguez around 1 a.m. on Sunday. It’s unclear why it took cops nearly a year to arrest her. She’s also facing burglary and grand theft charges after she and a man allegedly stole $14,000 worth of items from a vehicle after a car crash that occurred about three months before the stabbing.

Rodriguez remains in the custody of Miami-Dade Corrections without bond.
