Christian Micheal Chirino and Kobi Issiah Torrealba {BSO}
Two men were arrested after Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies say they forced their way into a residence and attacked the occupant, before fleeing after one was stabbed.
According to a Broward County Sheriff’s Office booking report, Kobi Issiah Torrealba Ruiz, 18, of Lauderhill, and Christian Micheal Chirino, 38, of Lauderhill, were arrested on February 14. Deputies say they responded to a reported home invasion at a Tamarac residence at approximately 5:00 a.m., in which the victim told deputies the men forced their way into his home while looking for his nephew.
Investigators say that after the victim asked the two men to leave, they both allegedly struck him multiple times. During the altercation, the victim stabbed Chirino in what authorities described as self-defense.
The affidavit states that both suspects fled the scene in a silver Nissan Altima. Deputies later located the vehicle in Lauderhill and detained both men. Chirino was observed with a stab wound consistent with the victim’s account and was treated at the scene by Lauderhill Fire Rescue.
The victim positively identified both suspects during a show-up, according to the report.
Both Torrealba Ruiz and Chirino were arrested and booked into the Broward County Main Jail.
