A tragic incident occurred when Tiniko Thompson, a 46-year-old woman, was arrested for allegedly killing her boyfriend, Carl Patrick, a 53-year-old Miami police officer. The incident took place in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on May 9. The police officers discovered a note next to Patrick’s body, stating, “It was an accident, we had a fight.” The body was found under burnt bedding in his bedroom, which suggested that something had been set on fire. Patrick was still dressed in his police uniform.
Thompson, who is Patrick’s former girlfriend, has been charged with second-degree murder and made her first court appearance on Thursday. According to the police, Thompson allegedly killed Patrick and left him to die while she fled the scene, taking his mobile phone with her. Two days later, Thompson’s mother reported her to the police after she threatened to commit suicide. It was during this investigation that Patrick’s body was discovered.
Initially, Thompson claimed that Patrick shot himself during a fight, but the medical examiner’s findings contradicted this statement. The injuries on Patrick’s body were inconsistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Thompson tearfully stated in an interview with NBC news that Patrick was abusive towards her, saying, “He scared me. I don’t know what else to say.”
Despite Thompson’s claim of leaving the scene and living in her car for several days, the police found a note in her vehicle similar to the one found in the kitchen. This note explained her fear of contacting the police after the incident.
The medical examiner determined that Patrick’s life could have been saved if he had received immediate medical attention. The official cause of death has been ruled as homicide.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the potential dangers within relationships and the importance of seeking help in abusive situations.
