The manager of a ritzy Miami steakhouse was nabbed for his mother’s murder after cops found him soaked in blood at his luxury high-rise apartment and her dead inside with multiple stab wounds Friday morning.
Stefano Cremasco-Cicero, 36, told cops he acted in self-defense when he allegedly stabbed his mom to death inside his 47th-floor Miami pad, the Miami Herald reported.
Police responded to the apartment building in the city’s Brickell neighborhood shortly before 5 a.m. Friday for an “unknown request” where they found the restaurant manager drenched in blood on his clothing, hands and shoes, according to his arrest affidavit.
Cremasco-Cicero reportedly told officers, “I was defending myself,” before leading them to his apartment on the 47th floor.
Inside the unit, cops found his mom — who has not been publicly identified — lying on her side, covered in stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police also found several bloodied kitchen knives, a shattered glass, a broken wine bottle and two white shirts covered in blood after a search warrant was issued.
Cremasco-Cicero’s mom was staying with him while she visited from Mexico, his unidentified wife told police on the phone.
His wife, who was out of the country in France at the time of the bloody killing, said Cremeasco-Cicero was not close with his mother following his parents’ divorce, according to the Herald.
The son’s wife told cops she didn’t believe her husband suffered from any mental illnesses but noted he had been under a lot of stress while opening a new restaurant in Coconut Grove. --->READ MORE HERE

The manager of a Diego Maradona-themed Argentine steakhouse was locked up on Friday after police say he stabbed his mother to death in his Brickell high-rise apartment.
Shortly before 5 a.m., Miami police were called to Solitair Brickell Apartments, 86 SW Eighth St., for an “unknown request.”
Officers found Stefano Cremasco Cicero, 36, in the lobby with blood on his shoes, hands and clothing, according to his arrest affidavit.
“I was defending myself,” Cremasco Cicero told police before directing them to his apartment on the 47th floor, according to the affidavit.
Officers opened the unlocked apartment door and found a woman lying on her side with stab wounds. Miami Fire Rescue pronounced her dead at 5:08 a.m.
A search of the lobby found two pairs of white shoes covered in blood, a pair of glasses and Cremasco Cicero’s iPhone, according to police.
Police say Cremasco Cicero and his wife are the only people listed on the apartment lease, which has been in effect since July 23, 2024.
A food-delivery driver who was at the Brickell building to drop off an order told police that Cremasco Cicero had opened the lobby door for her and asked her to call 911. Cremasco Cicero called 911 himself and handed the woman the phone. As the woman spoke to a dispatcher, she noticed blood on Cremasco Cicero, who refused to take the phone back when she tried to hand it to him. She gave the phone to police when they arrived, according to the affidavit.
Police called Cremasco Cicero’s wife, who said she was in France for a wedding. She told police that Cremasco Cicero’s mother was visiting from Mexico and staying with him. She also said Cremasco Cicero and his mother were not close following his parents’ divorce, according to police.
The wife said she did not know of any mental illness involving Cremasco Cicero, but said he had been under a lot of stress because of the opening of a restaurant in Coconut Grove. --->READ MORE HERE
