These are the main news of the day:

1.- Eder Omar Espinoza, accused of killing the mother of his two children with a kitchen knife, appeared in a Miami-Dade court. Some neighbors identified the victim as Johana Aristizábal.

2.- The man accused of having sexual relations with a 14-year-old teenager, the daughter of his ex-girlfriend, is facing new charges. Héctor Guifarro is accused of sexual assault and lewd acts with a minor, in addition to contributing to crime. The defendant was extradited from Texas to Miami, where the events occurred.

4.- The Martin Luther King holiday was marred again by a demonstration of dozens of cyclists, who circulated in a group and drove erratically on different roads in South Florida.
