MIAMI — A Florida man faces ten counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of arson for allegedly attempting to burn and kill a lesbian couple and their eight children.
Miami-Dade Police say 73-year-old Braulio Valenzuela intended to burn down the home that belongs to two women, who lived next door, because they are lesbians, reports WSVN-TV.
Security cameras captured Valenzuela exiting his home around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, and disappearing behind couple’s home. Moments later, the video shows a globe of fire.
