Three of the men arrested in the killing of a 33-year-old nuclear engineer who was stabbed to death after a party in southwest Miami-Dade have been ordered held without bond.
Alejandro Esteban Tapia, 22, and brothers Andres Felipe Feo, 24, and Sebastian David Zorrilla, 20, appeared in court Monday.
Each of the suspects are facing second-degree murder charges in the killing of Alexander Restrepo.
A fourth man, 24-year-old Edwin Rios, has also been charged in the killing and is due in court Wednesday.
Police said Restrepo and some friends were confronted by a group of males at a party.
Restrepo and his friends allegedly walked away, but were confronted a second time down the block, which led to a fight. Police say someone pulled out a sharp object and stabbed Restrepo repeatedly.
Restrepo's brother, Christopher, was stabbed in the hand and head but survived, police said.
Restrepo was found lying on the grass near Southwest 147th Street and 157th Avenue shortly before 3 a.m. on Oct. 21, police said.
Paramedics rushed him to Jackson Memorial Hospital South where he later died.
