A community in Orlando grieves following the tragic stabbing incident.
A tragic incident in Orlando has led to the stabbing death of 70-year-old Meb G. Yohan by his son, Almeb Y. Gebreyohannes. This shocking event raises questions about mental health and family dynamics, as the community mourns the loss and grapples with the implications of such violence. Almeb is now facing charges of second-degree murder and has a troubling history involving mental illness and past altercations with law enforcement.
It’s a heartbreaking story that has shaken the quiet neighborhood of Orlando. On the morning of Thursday, April 4, 2025, a 70-year-old man named Meb G. Yohan was reportedly stabbed multiple times in his home, leading to an unfortunate series of events. Police are investigating the incident that has led to the arrest of his son, Almeb Y. Gebreyohannes, who is now facing serious charges.
Early that morning, at approximately 6:47 a.m., the police received a call about a stabbing at a residence on Candice Court. Upon arrival, officers found Meb G. Yohan with several stab wounds that were critical in nature. Despite the swift response from emergency services, he was transported to the hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The man accused of this shocking crime is 38-year-old Almeb Y. Gebreyohannes, the son of the victim. Almeb’s background is troubling and complicated. Reports indicate that he has a history of mental illness and has had previous altercations with law enforcement. In fact, back in 2014, he was involved in a serious incident where he threatened his mother and ended up in an officer-involved shooting after charging at police officers with a baseball bat. During that encounter, officers had no choice but to shoot him multiple times.
Just a few years ago, in 2022, Almeb’s father, Meb, had to call the police due to a troubling episode where Almeb reportedly choked him. When officers arrived on the scene during that call, they used a Taser on Almeb after he threatened them with a knife. This recurring pattern of violence raises serious questions about the family dynamics and what may have led to the tragic events of that April morning.
Following the stabbing, Gebreyohannes was arrested and now faces a charge of second-degree murder in the death of his father. The relationship between Almeb and Meb at the time of the incident remains unclear, as well as the specific motives behind the heinous act. Authorities have stated that the investigation is ongoing as they seek to piece together what happened.
The Orlando community is grappling with the emotional fallout from this incident. Neighbors have expressed their shock and disbelief, as such violent incidents are not typical in their area. Many are left wondering how a situation could escalate so quickly within a family unit.
As details continue to emerge, the community is urged to keep an open mind while respecting the complexities surrounding mental health issues. The tragic loss of Meb G. Yohan is a stark reminder of the depths of struggle that can occur behind closed doors. Loved ones and family members are often the first to witness these struggles, and this incident raises important conversations about the support systems available for those dealing with mental illness.
As the investigation continues, the hope is that answers will come to light regarding the events leading up to this terrible event. For now, Orlando mourns the loss of a father while grappling with the implications of an all-too-frequent struggle within families facing mental health challenges.
