An 18-year-old Cuban man identified as Cristopher Luis Martínez Paumier was arrested October 14 in Hialeah, Florida, after a complaint that he made a death threat against his girlfriend’s mother. The message that prompted the case was allegedly sent four days earlier, at 8:41 p.m. on October 10, and reached the phone of Hialeah resident Anea Esther Calzadilla, according to the police report.

The text attributed to the sender contained a threat linked to the possibility of deportation. “Before they deport me, I’ll kill her,” the message received by Calzadilla said, and she reported fearing for her life. According to police, the woman had told the young man’s parents in September that she would contact immigration authorities. The complaint also mentions earlier reports of alleged domestic violence involving Martínez Paumier and Calzadilla’s daughter, but that reference does not by itself establish criminal responsibility.

The police report says Martínez Paumier acknowledged sending the message and said he wanted Calzadilla to receive it. Authorities charged him with written threats of death or bodily injury. The charge concerns the reported communication and is not a finding of guilt. The attributed admission, the threat described in the complaint and the charges are elements of a case in which criminal responsibility must be resolved in court.

A judge set bail at $5,000 and prohibited the accused from contacting Calzadilla. The restriction creates a judicial condition directly related to the complainant while the case proceeds. The sequence places the warning about contacting immigration authorities first, the October 10 message next and the Hialeah arrest four days later. The reference to possible deportation appears in the text attributed to the young man but does not establish that a deportation order exists.
