A 19-year-old woman who was working as a prostitute choked a Lake Worth man to death after he tried to stiff her out of money he owed her for sexual services, deputies said.
Andrea Alvira, of Lake Worth, killed Brandon Day, 22, in the early hours of Jan. 15 in a yard in the 5300 block of Rivermill Lane in Lake Worth, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrest report.
Alvira, who faces a charge of second-degree murder, told investigators a story they didn't believe: that she had met Day in a nearby park and that he'd offered to give her a ride after a john had stood her up.
According to the arrest report, Alvira told investigators she attacked Day after he pushed her to the ground, raped her, and took off running after robbing her.
Detectives said there was no evidence to support her allegations against Day.
Instead, detectives determined that Day and Alvira had arranged to meet at the community clubhouse in the Rivermill development, and that Alvira would provide sexual services for a fee.
Detectives said Alvira did her part, but that Day tried to run away without paying her, the report stated. Alvira chased Day into a yard, where she dropped him by hitting him in the neck. She got on top of Day's chest and forced her knees into his throat, suffocating him, detectives said.
Investigators looked at Alvira's cell phone, which showed that she and Day had sent text messages to each other to arrange a meeting.
When deputies arrived at the scene, Alvira was "sitting in the grass next to the victim who was unresponsive and believed to be deceased," the report said.
An investigation into the death ensued, with a medical examiner ruling on March 26 that Day's death was a homicide.
Alvira was arrested Wednesday. She remained in the Palm Beach County Jail on Thursday, according to the Sheriff's Office online booking blotter.
