On Oct. 2, 1992, Minas, who worked as a clerk at what was then called the Metro Justice Building, found Jimenez, a painter, in her second-floor unit at 13725 NE Sixth Ave.

During Jimenez’s trial, neighbors recalled hearing Minas screaming, “Oh, my God. Oh, my God.”

But Jimenez locked the front door of her apartment before anyone could get in to help. After a week-long trial, he was found guilty and later sentenced to death.

[Psalm 144]

You clerics go raise the victim back to life. Then we’ll talk. Until then, piss right off.

According to the Miami Herald, the murder of Minas wasn’t Jimenez’s first killing.

After his arrest in the Minas case, he was also convicted of a prior burglary and second-degree murder in the 1990 death of Marie Debas in Miami Beach.
