Police say the suspects took luxury vehicles, documents, jewelry and artwork from the home of Henry Parra and Adam Hlavaty. Investigators say additional arrests may follow.
Two people have been charged after authorities said they burglarized the Coral Gables home of Henry Parra and Adam Hlavaty, a South Florida couple killed in a helicopter crash in Kenya on August 19.
Coral Gables police allege that Geybert Alexander Garcia, 40, and Melany Perdomo, 24, entered the couple’s home between August 20 and August 22, taking personal and business documents, jewelry, electronics, artwork and two vehicles: a 2023 Range Rover and a 2020 Porsche Taycan.
Investigators said location data from a stolen MacBook and the Range Rover helped lead officers to a northwest Miami-Dade residence. Police said they found both vehicles outside, executed a search warrant and arrested Garcia and Perdomo. Authorities said they recovered property connected to the victims, including documents, a vehicle key fob and artwork.
Garcia faces charges including burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, two counts of grand theft of a vehicle and first-degree grand theft. Perdomo faces burglary and first-degree grand theft charges, according to reports citing arrest records. The charges are allegations, and neither defendant has been convicted.
Police Chief Ed Hudak said investigators believe the home was targeted after the couple’s deaths became public. Authorities also said the inquiry uncovered suspected fraudulent identification materials and may extend beyond the burglary, with more arrests expected.
Fox News reported that Perdomo is subject to an immigration detainer, citing records it reviewed. That status is separate from the criminal allegations and does not establish guilt in the burglary case.
SPILL INTELLIGENCE
THE WHOLE STORY
01WHAT HAPPENED
Coral Gables police arrested Geybert Alexander Garcia and Melany Perdomo in connection with the alleged burglary of the home of Henry Parra and Adam Hlavaty, who were among seven people killed in a Kenya helicopter crash. Police say vehicles, valuables, documents and artwork were taken, and the investigation may lead to additional arrests.
02HOW COVERAGE DIFFERS
The reports largely match on the alleged burglary, arrests and stolen property. Fox News emphasizes Perdomo's reported immigration detainer, the charges and the reported value of a sculpture. CBS Miami focuses on police officials' assertion that the suspects allegedly knew the homeowners had died, as well as a potentially broader investigation involving suspected identity theft and other crimes.
03COMMON GROUND
Both outlets report that police arrested Garcia and Perdomo after the deaths of Parra and Hlavaty, and that investigators linked the suspects to the case through stolen-property and vehicle-location evidence.
04THE DIVIDE
There is no meaningful political divide in the coverage. The distinction is primarily one of emphasis: Fox foregrounds court-record and immigration-detainer details, while CBS foregrounds police briefings about a wider investigation and possible additional arrests.
