Woman Arrested for Domestic Violence in Miami-Dade Also Wanted for Broward Carjacking

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Authorities arrested Camilla Diaz in Miami-Dade County on Friday, but records show she is also wanted in Broward County in connection with a carjacking case.

A carjacking victim told Hollywood police that he believed he was going to “hook up” with Diaz and give her a ride home to Miami-Dade. The victim said he had known Diaz, 22, since ninth grade and agreed to pick her up in Hollywood’s Parkside neighborhood.

According to police, the armed robbery and carjacking occurred on Sept. 18, 2024, near Plunkett Street and South 21st Avenue. Investigators said Diaz escaped after the incident.

“The victim said he got out of his vehicle to help Diaz with her belongings,” a Hollywood detective wrote in an arrest warrant. “Once he exited the vehicle, he followed Diaz up the stairs and saw two light-skinned males emerge from the bushes with guns, and that was when he realized Diaz had set him up.”

A Broward County judge issued an arrest warrant, and Miami-Dade deputies took Diaz into custody on Feb. 5. Authorities extradited her to Broward, where a judge later released her on house arrest with GPS monitoring on March 21. She returned to custody again on Saturday.

Records show Diaz was arrested on Nov. 27 in Miami-Dade’s South Miami Heights area for battery after allegedly attacking her mother. A judge ordered her to stay away from her mother. Diaz bonded out but then disappeared, according to court documents.

A Broward judge issued a pretrial release warrant on Dec. 2 that included a hold without bond. Diaz turned 23 on Dec. 18, and deputies arrested her the following day in Miami-Dade.

Miami-Dade inmate records show corrections officers booked Diaz late Friday night at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

Diaz appeared in court Saturday in Miami-Dade after deputies accused her of violating a domestic violence injunction. Court records show her arraignment on the misdemeanor charge is scheduled for Jan. 20 in Miami-Dade. She remains in custody while awaiting extradition to Broward County.

Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Elisabeth Espinosa is presiding over the misdemeanor case, while Broward County Circuit Judge Ernest Kollra Jr. is handling the felony case.
