Tires were slashed, a windshield was smashed and a man was stabbed to death on New Year’s Day according to police.

The incident took place at 1708 N.W. 16^th Street in Ft. Lauderdale.  Police detectives said an altercation began earlier in the day and then the murder took place late in the evening.

According to a police report, Lloyd Scott, 56, slashed tires on a vehicle and smashed out the window of Cindy Supersad’s car around 2:15 p.m. at the N.W. 16^th Street home.

Supersad is said to be Scott’s estranged girlfriend.

Another person, Stanley Musler, and Supersad told police they witnessed the crime.

Supersad told police, after the incident, Scott called her home several times and made threats to kill “everyone”.

Just after 11:30 p.m. Supersad told police Scott returned to the home armed with a knife.

According to a police report, Supersad, Norman Cameron and Alexander Ray were inside the home.

Supersad told police she watched Scott put Cameron, 41, in a head lock and ran to call for help.  Scott reportedly told Ray “don’t worry, I’m not here for you.” Ray said he ran from the scene.

When police arrived at the home, they found Cameron’s lifeless body next to the home with numerous knife wounds.

Cameron’s address is listed as 2700 N.W. 44th Street in Ft. Lauderdale.

Officers used a K-9 to locate Scott near the home and arrest him.   The police report stated Scott resisted arrest.

The alleged murder weapon was later located buried at the crime scene.

Scott is charged with premeditated murder, resisting arrest and battery.

He made his first appearance in front of a Broward County judge Friday morning.

A Baltimore woman was arrested on New Years Eve after police say she left her four-year-old daughter locked in a car all day at Maryland Live! Casino.

Police say Alicia Brown, 24, stashed her young child in an SUV for more than eight hours. A casino security officer heard screams and spotted the child on the 4th floor of a Maryland Live! parking garage sobbing, freezing and terribly confused.

“The first thing I did when I got the message was gasp,” Anne Arundel County Police spokesman Lt. T.J. Smith said. “We don’t do this to animals, we certainly shouldn’t do this to children.”

Casino security cameras captured Brown driving into the parking garage around 10 a.m. Tuesday. The Baltimore resident reportedly placed blankets over the windows of her white GMC Terrain to hide her daughter from passersby.

The 24-year-old then entered the casino and gambled without checking on her child’s well-being once. When she finally emerged from the casino floor at 6:30 p.m., police officers and security guards were surrounding her car. Brown was quickly placed under arrest.

Authorities say the young girl told security officers that her mom had told her she would “be right back.”

“I was asked earlier if she gave an excuse for this. Personally I don’t care what her excuse is, there’s no reason to leave a four-year-old child inside of a cold vehicle,” Lt. Smith added.

Before she was arrested, officials say that Brown originally wondered out loud where her 17-year-old cousin was, as she was apparently supposed to be watching the girl. Brown quickly recanted that statement.

With the temperature at the time of the girl’s discovery just 2 degrees above freezing, paramedics transported the pre-schooler to Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Doctors there found the youngster to be cold and hungry, but in good health. She was released to her grandmother.

“It’s a case of darn right not caring,” Arundel Mills Mall shopper Nick Choobineh remarked. “It’s your child, it’s your flesh and blood. I mean a couple of dice and a couple of cards in a casino game are worth more than a child? That woman is not worthy of being a mother.”

“Who would do such a thing,” Arundel Mills Mall shopper Pam Teal asked rhetorically. “A small child in the car for eight hours? That’s terrible. If she’s in jail, she’s in the right place right now.”
