Sunrise police investigate stabbing of 12-year-old cousin by relative
Police in Sunrise are investigating after a man allegedly stabbed his 12-year-old cousin, a child-violence case with no public motive or injury details.
Sunrise police investigated after a man stabbed his 12-year-old cousin with a knife in Sunrise, a violent family case in Broward County that put a child at the center of a criminal probe. The details released with the story did not identify the suspect or describe the child’s condition, and no motive was given.
Because the alleged victim is 12 and the accused is a cousin, the case carries immediate child-safety implications beyond the assault itself. The core facts now known are narrow but serious: police in Sunrise are handling a stabbing involving a minor, and the person accused is a relative.
No additional information about an arrest, court filing or protective order was included in the available details. That leaves investigators with the basic question of how a knife attack involving a child and a family member unfolded in Sunrise and whether any warning signs existed beforehand.
The case also fits into a run of recent stabbing-related headlines across Broward County. Sunrise police released body-camera footage in July 2025 showing the arrest of a fatal stabbing suspect. Fort Lauderdale police investigated a stabbing at a bus stop in March 2026, and Lauderhill police announced in July 2026 that a man arrested in connection with two stabbings there was charged in a third killing.
For Broward readers, the Sunrise case stands out because it combines a violent crime allegation with the vulnerability of a 12-year-old child and a family relationship at the center of the accusation. Until police release more, the confirmed public record remains limited to the victim’s age, the cousin relationship and the allegation that a knife was used.
