Breaking News: Ex-Florida Gators Athlete Faces Attempted Murder Charges, Allegedly Proclaimed Himself as "God" Post Stabbing Incident
In a shocking turn of events, former Florida Gators athlete Lacedrick Brunson has been taken into custody following an alleged violent incident, where he's said to have stabbed a woman multiple times in the chest, bizarrely proclaiming himself as "God" during the act.
According to reports, the 24-year-old ex-football player was arrested last week, moments after he was seen covered in blood, attempting to re-enter an apartment. The situation could have taken a much darker turn had a bystander not bravely intervened during the assault, potentially saving the woman's life.
The chilling episode unfolded as Brunson reportedly launched an attack on the woman and her children. In an attempt to flee, the victims were thrown to the ground, and that's when Brunson allegedly began his stabbing frenzy. A courageous eyewitness, who heard the commotion and screams, rushed to the apartment, wrestled the knife away from Brunson, and managed to force him out of the premises.
Following the incident, Brunson was apprehended and is currently being held at the Alachua County Jail. He faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of child abuse.
Brunson, originally from Miami, was a linebacker for the Gators from 2017 to 2021 and made his presence felt in 40 games, also playing a role on special teams.
One of the neighbors, McGuire, stated, "I didn't see a lot but heard a lot of police sirens up in the front of the neighborhood. Heard a lot of people talking about how there was a stabbing up front, but didn't really hear much else. Other than that it was kind of an unknown. We try to keep to ourselves back here and not go up there because we didn't really know what's going on." The unsettling event has surely left a sense of fear and shock in the community.
