A passerby noticed a bloody couple in a car parked outside Hialeah City Hall around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The woman was dead. The man was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital because of what Hialeah Fire Capt. Cesar Espinosa called “his altered mental status.”

How the woman got so bloody — stabbing or shooting — remained unclear, as was whether the blood covering the man in his 30s came from her or him. Hialeah police said they’re investigating this as a possible attempted murder-suicide and there’s no connection to Hialeah City Hall other than proximity.

This breaking news story will be updated as more information becomes learned.
