David Mairena-Garcia (Brown Co. Jail)
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — David Mairena-Garcia allegedly entered into his ex-girlfriend’s home and attacked her and the man she was with using a machete, leaving them both hospitalized, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
Mairena-Garcia, 29, faces six counts, including two charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, for Monday’s incident on Edgewood Drive. An initial court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
According to the complaint, Mairena-Garcia used a key to enter the woman’s home. He allegedly hit the male victim, a 23-year-old from Green Bay, with a machete in the shoulder, forearm and shin. Mairena-Garcia then allegedly beat his ex-girlfriend, a 26-year-old Green Bay woman. She suffered lacerations on her hand and neck, plus an injury to her head.
“David did not say anything, he just went in and started cutting them and attacking them with the machete,” the woman told police. She “stated David had already made several death threats to her by text message and in person.”
Victim-1 left the bedroom and briefly ran outside. During this time, David beat Victim-2 and then chased her out of the house. Victim-1 stated he ran down Edgewood Drive. After chasing Victim-1 down the road with the machete, David got into his vehicle (Victim-1 thought a black SUV) and left driving down Edgewood Drive.
Police used Flock cameras to track Mairena-Garcia and arrested him during a traffic stop.
The complaint says, “Mairena-Garcia stated he saw his “wife” and another male in his bed and he lost his mind and blacked out because of the rage. Mairena-Garcia advised all he was thinking was “just wanting to kill them.”
He told police where he tossed the machete along the highway and it was recovered by authorities.
The female victim and Mairena-Garcia have a child together, the complaint states.
Brown County Jail records indicate a federal immigration detainer hold was placed on Mairena-Garcia. The complaint quotes a witness as saying Mairena-Garcia is from Nicaragua.
