MIAMI – A police report says that a woman was scared for hours in her apartment in the West End neighborhood of Miami-Dade County after her 26-year-old live-in boyfriend grabbed a gun, pointed it at her head, and threatened to shoot her.
The police report says that Lismay Corrales had already squeezed her neck, hit her in the face, kicked her legs, taken her phone, and kept the key to the main door’s locks so she couldn’t leave the apartment.
The next morning, Corrales hit her again and pulled her hair. When he went to sleep, she was able to find her phone and call her sister, who got a police officer to help her escape through the window.
Officers later found that Corrales, who had been arrested for cocaine and marijuana in the past, had a gun clip with 24 live shots in it.
Jail records show that on Thursday morning, Corrales was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without a bond. Court records show that he was facing 32 charges in four open cases and was waiting for his appearance on May 25.
Corrales does not have a public Florida Department of Corrections file as a convicted felon, but his criminal record was enough for prosecutors to file a new case with 24 counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Corrales was also charged with false arrest with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, battery, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in two other cases that were still going on. These cases also stemmed from the domestic violence attack on May 1 and 2.
One of the four open cases has been going on for two years. The case was filed about a week after he turned 24. It was for breaking into a building that was empty, grand theft in the third degree, possession of a controlled drug, and criminal damage of $1,000 or more.
When he was 23 years old, Miami-Dade police officers caught him, and prosecutors brought a case against him for messing with physical evidence, fighting an officer without violence, and driving without a license. Records show that the court found him guilty and gave him credit for time already spent. The case was closed in 2021.
Police also caught him when he was 20 for firing a gun in public and having a gun while he was a convicted felon, but the charges were later dropped, according to court records. In 2018, the case came to an end, and he got a letter of release from the court the next day.
Judge Carmen Cabarga of the Miami-Dade Circuit Court is in charge of Corrales’s four ongoing cases.
