June 3rd 2024.
A tragic incident has rocked the town of Wildwood, Florida, as 15-year-old Connor Michael Gill lost his life after being fatally stabbed during a sleepover. The suspect, 16-year-old Alexander Warren Hernandez, allegedly barged into the home uninvited and attacked Gill, also injuring an adult who tried to intervene. The Sumter County Sheriff's Office reported that Hernandez arrived at the home around 10pm on Saturday and began banging on the door, causing Gill to unlock it. Once inside, Hernandez proceeded to stab Gill and threaten another person who was present.
According to the undersheriff, Pat Breeden, this was a calculated and deliberate attack. The suspect, Hernandez, has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and armed burglary. First responders arrived at the scene and airlifted both victims to nearby hospitals for medical treatment, but sadly, Gill succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 1:19am.
The suspect was seen fleeing the scene and was later located by a sheriff's office helicopter, where he was taken into custody. It was discovered that Hernandez had walked nearly six miles to reach the victims' home. Both Gill and Hernandez were homeschooled after leaving the Sumter County School District, according to the sheriff's office. The motive for the attack is still unclear, and the sheriff's office is urging anyone with information to come forward.
This tragic incident comes just three-and-a-half years after another fatal stabbing involving a suspect with the same name, Alexander Hernandez. In January 2021, a 19-year-old Hernandez allegedly stabbed his four-month-old cousin 16 times in their home in Fremont, Nebraska. The baby's screams were heard by a relative, who then wrestled the knife away from Hernandez. It was reported that the suspect had stopped taking prescribed medication for depression before the attack.
As the community mourns the loss of Connor Gill, the victim of this senseless act of violence, the sheriff's office is continuing their investigation and seeking justice for both Gill and the injured adult. Let us all remember to cherish our loved ones and hold them close, for life is precious and fragile.
