HAMILTON, Ohio (WKRC) - Warrants have been signed for three suspects in the fatal stabbing at the Fraternal Order of Police event hall in Hamilton on May 7. Oscar Flores, Juan Flores and Luis Flores are all charged now with murder.
Israel Diaz was fatally stabbed during the quinceañera -- a 15th birthday party -- at the hall. Someone else also fired shots. Three other people were stabbed as well, but survived.
On Wednesday, police made their first arrest in the case. Sara Rodriguez, 46, is charged with tampering with evidence and obstructing justice. The victims’ families tell Local 12 that she is the aunt of one or more of the Flores men.
Rodriguez is accused of hiding the knife for the killer and then lying to police during the investigation. She was being held on $75,000 bond and is also being held for immigration authorities.
Edward Sturgeon II says a SWAT unit arrived at her home Wednesday evening and knocked at the door.
“That’s, like, shocking though, to figure out that somebody that you live next to did something like that,” Sturgeon said.
“Oscar was the one that stabbed the four guys, Juan was the one that was with the gun, and then Luis was just punching, throwing punches,” said Diego Martinez, who attended the party with all four victims.
Police previously called Juan and Oscar Flores "persons of interest". Warrants are now out for their arrests, along with Luis Flores, 18.
Investigators aren’t confirming what roles each of the men allegedly played, but Martinez says he’s gotten into fights with the suspects in the past.
"Just, like, parties and, you know, being drunk and stuff,” he said. “Whenever you’re drunk, you just start fighting.”
There is a $1,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of each of the three suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Tony Kiep at 513-868-5811 ext. 1261.

Thoughts? As of this posting date (May 26th, 2022), there is still a Facebook posting on the Hamilton Police Department (Ohio) Facebook page asking for information on the Flores' whereabouts that is yet to be edited or updated with any news of a capture.
