Facebook on Thursday evening removed the profile page of a South Miami man who claimed in an online post that he killed his wife, then posted a gruesome photo of the woman’s dead body.
The man, Derek Medina, 31, turned himself into police for the slaying of Jennifer Alfonso, 26, whose body was discovered in the townhouse at 5555 SW 67th Ave.
According to Miami-Dade police, Medina shot and killed Alfonso, then drove to the South Miami police station to surrender.
Officers rushed to the townhouse, where they also found Alfonso’s 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. The girl was not injured and emerged wrapped in a blanket.
Medina is being questioned by detectives. So far, no charges have been announced.
He is likely to claim self-defense. His father, Derek Medina Sr., told reporters that his son told him that Alfonso brandished a knife.
