In a shocking turn of events, a grim discovery was made as twins were found dead in a car in Florida. The incident occurred near the NB I-95 ramp to the Turnpike Extension at Golden Glades, leading to a closure of the area as authorities delve into the investigation.
Twins Found Dead in Car in Florida
In a heart-wrenching incident, two young children were discovered lifeless in a silver van on the northbound Interstate 95 ramp to the Turnpike Extension at the Golden Glades interchange in Florida.
The fraternal twins, Milendhere Gabriel Napoleon Cadet, and Milenjhit Gabriella Napoleon Cadet aged 3, were found unresponsive, triggering a comprehensive police investigation into the circumstances surrounding their tragic deaths.
Mother Rushed to Hospital
The children’s mother, identified as Shirlene Alcime, was found to be the driver of the vehicle. She was quickly rushed to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, where she remains in critical condition. The father, Milson Cadet, expressed shock and confusion, stating, “I don’t know what happened.
I went to work at 5 a.m. Thursday and then I came back home. I didn’t see my wife at home (or) the kids.”
Police Response and Investigation
Miami-Dade Police received a call around 2 a.m. reporting an unresponsive child in the vehicle. Soon after, another call followed, reporting a second unresponsive child. Detective Andre Martin provided insights into the incident, stating.
“The juveniles that were located in the backseat of the vehicle were transported to a nearby hospital where, despite medical efforts, they were pronounced deceased”.
The cause of death remains undisclosed, and the police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding this tragic event. Detective Martin expressed the difficulty of such cases, saying, “Not just as a police officer, but as a father.
Any case, any incident, such as this one that results in the death of a child is very, very difficult. My prayers are with the family of these children”.
Family and Friends Speak Out
Suzette Morant, a family friend, spoke with CBS News Miami, sharing photographs of the children and their mother, Shirlene Alcime. Morant emphasized Alcime’s role as a loving mother, stating, “To be honest with you, she was a good mother.
She has been such a good mother, and that is why I co-signed a car for her to make sure that she and her kids would be safe. The person I know would never do anything like that.”
Questions Remain as Investigation Progresses
The familial relationship between Shirlene Alcime and the deceased children is still unknown, adding to the complexity of the case. Detective Martin assured that investigators are diligently working to piece together the tragic incident and find answers. The closure of the ramp during the investigation has since reopened.
The impact of this incident extends beyond the family, affecting train tracks under the interchange and causing delays for Tri-Rail riders. The person who reported the incident was not the driver but a passerby in another vehicle. Cadet, expressing disbelief, stated, “This sounds impossible. This is mind-boggling to me, and I want to know what went on”.
Conclusion
As the investigation continues, the community and the family grapple with the inexplicable loss of two young lives. The circumstances surrounding the death of Milendhere Gabriel Napoleon Cadet and Milenjhit Gabriella Napoleon Cadet raise numerous questions, and authorities are committed to uncovering the truth.
Amid this tragedy, the community mourns, hoping for answers and finding solace in cherished memories.
