Pizza delivery worker stabs pregnant woman multiple times over $2 tip in US

A pizza delivery worker in US's Florida has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a pregnant woman more than a dozen times over a $2 tip. The shocking incident took place at the Riviera Motel in Kissimmee after a $33 pizza order.

According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, the altercation began when the victim tipped Brianna Alvelo, 22, only $2, unable to provide exact change for a $50 bill. Enraged by the small tip, Alvelo reportedly returned to the motel around 10 p.m. on Sunday, accompanied by a masked accomplice armed with a gun.

The victim, who was celebrating a birthday with her boyfriend and 5-year-old daughter, was brutally attacked. Authorities say Alvelo stabbed her 14 times during the assault. The victim attempted to protect her child, throwing her onto the bed while trying to call for help. However, Alvelo allegedly smashed the phone to prevent her from seeking assistance.


Security footage captured Alvelo arriving in her red Toyota and later returning with her accomplice. The victim, who was rushed to a local hospital, is in stable condition. Doctors later revealed she is pregnant.

Alvelo was quickly apprehended by law enforcement and faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, home invasion, assault, and kidnapping. She is being held without bond at the Osceola County Jail. The accomplice remains at large.

Alvelo worked for Marco’s Pizza, whose owners expressed deep sorrow over the incident and assured the public of their full cooperation with authorities.

“The safety and well-being of our customers and team members are always our top priority,” the company said in a statement.

The investigation remains ongoing, as authorities work to locate Alvelo’s accomplice and piece together the full details of the attack.
