A Tucson woman is in the ICU after her boyfriend attempted to kill her. The incident happened on Monday just after 3 p.m. near Stone and Mohave. Officers arrested 23-year-old Caid Stough on suspicion of attempted manslaughter of Jasmin Rede. He’s being held on a $1 million bond.
KGUN 9’s Heidi Alagha spoke to Pedro Rede, Jasmin’s little brother. He says he actually met Caid back in middle school in Marana, where they all grew up. The couple has three children together.
“When I met Caid, he was a good guy. He wasn’t the way he is now. It’s not something you’d expect your friend to do, especially to your sister,” Pedro Rede says.
A few years ago, Pedro actually lived with Jasmin and Caid. He ended up moving to Texas, saying he left on a bad note with Caid because he felt his sister was being mistreated.
Now Pedro is back in Tucson, standing by his sister as she recovers at Banner-University Medical Center. He says, “I just feel like he knows what he did was wrong and he needs to pay the price for what he did which, is stay in the system. I hope they don’t let him out at all.”
