MIAMI, FLORIDA: A young Florida woman who attempted to hire a hitman to kill her infant son through a parody service was apprehended on Tuesday, July 18. Jazmin Paez, 18, is accused of hiring an assassin to kill her 3-year-old before Thursday via the fictitious website RentAHitman.com. According to court documents obtained by NBC Miami, the Miami-Dade mom is accused of sending images of her little son and the precise area where he would be.
Paez allegedly agreed to send out $3,000 for her son's death when investigators masquerading as the for-hire murderer spoke with her to flesh out the murder plan. Authorities came in to arrest her after tracking the IP address to Paez's house and spoke with the child's grandmother, who confirmed that the intended target was Paez's child.
Who is Jazmin Paez?
Jazmin Paez, an 18-year-old from Miami-Dade, Florida, was arrested on Tuesday after reportedly trying to hire a hitman to kill her three-year-old son. She asked for the death of her young son on the parody website rentahitman.com. She was arrested after the owner of the website that advocates fictional murders-for-hire alerted her inquiry to the police. Paez is being held in the Miami-Dade jail and was charged with first-degree solicitation of murder and third-degree use of a communications device for unlawful use, according to court documents.
Paez's evil plan
Investigators say her son is in the safe custody of her family. They also claimed that the man behind the fictitious murder-for-hire website gave them the heads-up about Paez's evil plan. Robert Innes, who receives hundreds of requests for hitmen each day, thought Paez's was too urgent. "The ability to research names and addresses and verify the intended target lived in a particular address. That to me is a red flag. If that information is corroborated, to me that is something that needs to be looked at and that’s why I referred it," he stated to NBC Miami. Innes claims that the Miami-Dade police originally took his flag lightly and even threatened to issue him a cease-and-desist order if he kept in touch.
Numerous persons trying to outsource the nasty task have been arrested as a result of the RentAHitman website. Both the "Service Request Form" and the "Careers Form" have been used frequently to arrest persons who wanted to hire a hitman to kill someone they knew. Earlier this year, a Tennessee Air National Guardsman was held after submitting an application to work as a hitman on the parody website. Since 2018, at least 120 individuals, just from New York, have used RentAHitman to arrange murder, as per New York Post.
