Earlier in the evening, the suspect and her female friend were out at a bar in South Beach when the men they were with asked the friend if she knew any other women that could join them.

The friend showed the men Borcela on social media, and she invited her out. After Borcela met up with the group, police said in the report that Harrell grew upset Borcela was drinking and dancing, so she texted the friend who invited her and told her to “get her girl under control.”

Harrell faces a charge of second-degree murder with a weapon, according to The Miami Herald.
