Evoni Murray savored the nighttime walk in Miami Beach, one of few remaining chances to enjoy a carefree stroll before the birth. Murray was eight months pregnant Wednesday. And
her Aug. 4 due date loomed as she walked in the sweltering summer heat with the father-to-be.

Then the couple encountered off-duty police officer Ambar Pacheco. A confrontation began, during which, Murray says, Pacheco kicked her in the stomach. Murray, 27, was in severe
pain, a responding officer wrote in a report, and was possibly having contractions on the street. The baby was coming — nine days early.

Murray was rushed to a hospital, and Joseph Predelus III came into the world after seven minutes of labor, his father Joseph, 40, told WSVN.

Across town, Pacheco, 26, was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, according to a Miami Beach Police Department affidavit provided to The Washington Post. North Miami
Beach Police Chief William Hernandez fired Pacheco from the force less than two days later.

“Due to Ms. Ambar Pacheco’s recent off-duty actions, her employment with the City of North Miami Beach has been terminated effective immediately,” Hernandez said Friday in a brief
statement. She had been with the force less than a year and was in a probationary period, the Miami Herald reported.

Details surrounding the incident are unclear. The arrest affidavit does not say how or why the confrontation started. But Pacheco told police that Predelus kicked her sister in the face,
which prompted her violent reaction.

“I saw red and beat the s— out of [Murray],” Pacheco said, according to the affidavit. She later said she couldn’t recall who she kicked, the document says.

Predelus denied assaulting Pacheo’s younger sister, 21-year-old Mikaela Pacheco, and suggested that the women were intoxicated.

I wonder if the baby will suffer any trauma or injuries.

“We were walking down the sidewalk enjoying the night and we saw them,” she told the station. “These girls were crying. Then they thought we were talking about them, which was not true. They got belligerent and tried to jump because they thought I said something.”

yeah that sounds like drunk chola behavior

Took me a while to figure out there probably is another Predelus besides the newborn despite the article never specifying that

That's something I would expect a kid in middle school to do, not a fucking grown adult, let alone a police officer.
