Man charged with stabbing another man

An Islamorada man is in jail, charged with stabbing his wife’s boyfriend.

Sgt. Yunier Galvez responded to Sea Breeze Trailer Park at the 87.4 mile marker of the highway at 1:30 a.m. Saturday to a report of a stabbing. When he arrived, he found the 40 year old victim outside of trailer #64, holding his stomach. He said he’d been stabbed by a man inside the trailer, 55 year old Fredrick Kimble.

The victim lives in the trailer with Kimble and Kimble’s wife. Kimble and his wife are reportedly estranged and the victim and the wife are now a couple.

Two Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrived on the scene as backup for Sgt. Galvez. The three officers went into the trailer to investigate further.

Interviews with the victim and his girlfriend revealed they were all outside the trailer together when Kimble and his wife began to argue. The victim said he  intervened and told Kimble to stop yelling at her. He said she began to pull him away from Kimble; it was at that point the victim “felt a stab” to his abdomen and realized Kimble had stabbed him with a knife.

The victim was airlifted to a Miami hospital for treatment of a stab wound. Kimble was placed under arrest, charged with aggravated battery. The pocket knife used in the stabbing was recovered from his pants pocket.
