Daughter Stabbed, Mother Injured In Armed Robbery

MERIDEN, CT - Police arrested two suspects following an armed robbery and stabbing Tuesday night. Angel Rodriguez, 48, of Meriden, and Keisha Garcia-Hernandez, 27, of Meriden, were arrested following the incident at Tachuelas Grocery Store on West Main Street.

The younger of the two victims, a 29-year-old woman, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries when she was stabbed in the arm. The mother, 60, suffered a serious facial injury but police said the extent of her injuries was unclear.

During investigation, police received a description of the vehicle, which had a distinctively colored hood. A detective who had been in Hartford earlier in the day said he had noticed the vehicle because of this unique feature.

The suspects were located in Hartford at the same location they had been earlier in the day and taken into custody.

The knife used in the crime was seized, as was a handgun also used in the robbery.

Both suspects were held on $1 million bond.
