Miami, FL: Man kills girlfriend, stabs self, confesses, police say

A 33-year-old man killed his girlfriend in Miami and stabbed himself twice, then drove to Tampa police headquarters and told officers what he had done, police say.

Alexander F. Bruzon of Miami was charged on a Miami warrant with first-degree murder.

Police say that shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday, he walked into the police department's lobby with two self-inflicted stab wounds and told officers he killed his girlfriend.

He was taken to an area hospital. When released from the hospital, he will be taken to jail and later extradited to Miami.

He didn't tell officers why he drove to Tampa after killing his girlfriend and stabbing himself, but he did tell them he stopped to nap at least once along the way, police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said.
