ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A 21-year-old woman is behind bars after investigators say she killed her boyfriend after an argument over undelivered packages.

Deputies found the victim, Angelo Dessaint, around 4:20 p.m. According to an arrest report, Dessaint was lying in the hallway of the apartment building with a man trying to treat a chest injury. Dessaint was rushed to Orlando Regional Medical Center where he died around 5 p.m.

The witness told deputies Dessaint lived in that apartment complex with his girlfriend Moise, their 1-year-old daughter, and Dessaint’s elderly aunt, according to a report.

Investigators say when Dessaint and the witness returned to the apartment, Dessaint and Moise began to argue over undelivered packages. The witness, a friend of Dessaint’s, had stepped out of the apartment as the couple argued, the report states.

When the witness stepped back into the apartment, Dessaint handed him a cell phone asking his friend to take a photo of his chest injury, according to an arrest report. Deputies say the injury was described as a stab-like wound.

Dessaint then ran out of the apartment and eventually fell, according to the report.

Investigators say Dessaint’s friend saw Moise standing near them holding a kitchen-style knife and was wearing short shorts and a black tank top.

Deputies say they conducted a search warrant and found a black-handled kitchen knife and black shorts on the kitchen table.

Moise is now being held in the Orange County Jail and is facing a second-degree murder charge.

The victim’s cause of death is pending an autopsy.
