Carlos Yadiel Báez-Nieves confessed to killing 2 women

During a press conference, Sheriff Mina detailed how Fatia Flowers, 41, and Nichole Daniels, 44, were killed.

Both were described by Mina as «transient women» who «exchanged sex for money.»

They met the suspect while working, both had sex with him, and both ended up with broken necks.

In his sworn statement, Carlos Yadiel Báez-Nieves explained his reasons for killing each one. He attacked Daniels after accusing her of taking money from his wallet.

He broke his victims’ necks

He drove around and ultimately went to the intersection of Trevarthon and Harrell roads, where he pushed her out of the passenger door of his truck and onto the ground. He then drove away and went home,» Mina said.

He apparently strangled Flowers during «rough sex» inside his Ford F150.

«He described initially that he was ‘choking’ her during their sexual encounter, and she got off of him, made some weird movements, but then got back on top of him before passing out,» says the affidavit.

Again, Báez-Nieves drove his vehicle to Trevarthon and Harrell Road and dumped the second body.

Carlos Yadiel Báez-Nieves showed no mercy

A security camera belonging to the 7-Eleven near the intersection captured the suspect’s vehicle. Officers were able to locate him after identifying him as the owner of the white truck.

Báez-Nieves was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder after being stopped for driving with a suspended license.

The sheriff asserted that the investigation is not concluded, suggesting that in cases like this, there are usually other victims.

The accused moved from Puerto Rico to Florida in 2020, and authorities want to rule out Báez’s involvement in similar incidents in other states during that period.
