A woman was found killed by her son, who is now charged with second-degree murder. Police discovered her body inside a dumpster in South Beach after receiving a welfare check request. Blood was visible from the apartment to the trash room, indicating a violent incident. The victim's body showed signs of severe injuries, nearly decapitated, with multiple fractures. The son reportedly barricaded himself in the apartment, leading to a hostage situation before his arrest. A weapon was not recovered at the scene.
When police arrived, they found a trail of blood from the front door of the apartment to the trash room, located across from Caruso's apartment. The trash room's walls had blood smeared on it, and a pool formed near the chute, according to the report.
During an autopsy, the medical examiner's office found her neck 'severely injured nearly to the point of decapitation' and bone fractures to her arms, face, hands and head.
