At Springfield Gardens, Sakiyna Thompson was arrested on suspicion of murder.
A woman was stabbed on July 13, 2022 in her Tamarac apartment in the 9300 block of 57th Street North West. At the scene, she was pronounced dead. Even though authorities hid details of the victim, Kayla Hodgson, 23, was the woman who died, according to her knowledge.
Around 3 a.m., the Broward Sheriff’s Office reported receiving a call about a woman who was unresponsive. The victim was already dead by the time rescuers and deputies arrived. They continue to invest in the passage.
We have no crime here, according to a citizen named Peter Lesshawn. Maybe it was domestic violence, but I don’t know because I live in a nearby neighborhood. It’s a peaceful neighborhood.”
Meanwhile, acquaintances of the victim claim she was a kind woman and a party girl. In South Florida, she worked as a bartender.
One of the deceased’s former employers, Swana Alphonse, says: ‘I mean, I was devastated. The majority of my team members were, especially those who knew her and worked with her. We’re all waitresses and bartenders, so this is just ridiculous and terrifying. And any of us can have become that.

First degree murder is the alleged crime against Sakiyna Thompson. In order to avoid extradition to Florida, the suspect is currently being held at Rikers Island.
On July 25, 2022, a warrant for the accused’s arrest was issued. However, the New York State Police withheld any information about him.
Previously, police had simply described the incident as a homicide. Regarding the circumstances surrounding Thompson’s murder of Hodgson, investigators have not released any details. Because they found irrefutable evidence, the Broward Sheriff’s Office released Thompson’s photo.
Police plan to transfer Thompson to Broward County and file first-degree murder charges against him this week.
