Osceola County, Fla. (WDNews) — A pizza delivery driver is in custody following a violent altercation at a motel in Kissimmee. Deputies with the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office say Brianna Alvelo, 22, faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, home invasion, and aggravated assault, after an alleged dispute over a tip.
The incident reportedly occurred late Monday night. Authorities say the victim, along with her boyfriend and young daughter, ordered food to their motel room while celebrating a birthday. The victim attempted to pay for the $33.10 order with a $50 bill and requested change. After being told that change could not be provided, she found smaller bills and tipped $2. The victim reported that the delivery driver left without commenting but appeared upset.
Later that evening, deputies allege Alvelo returned to the motel room accompanied by an unidentified male suspect. According to authorities, the pair forced their way inside. The male suspect reportedly confined the victim’s boyfriend while Alvelo confronted the victim. During the incident, the victim sustained injuries and required hospitalization. Officials confirmed she is in stable condition, and no one else was physically harmed.
Marco’s Pizza, the delivery driver’s employer, issued a statement expressing concern and support for the investigation. “We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred. The local owner and his team are fully cooperating with local authorities, who have launched an investigation into the matter. The safety and well-being of customers and team members are always our top priority, and we are taking this incident very seriously,” a company spokesperson said.
Alvelo is being held without bond at the Osceola County Jail. Investigators are still working to identify the male suspect involved in the case. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
