Who was Alina Rossique-Falcon?

There is not a lot of information about Alina, but it is widely reported that she married the Miami drug lord Augusto Falcon in 1977. According to the Sun, the couple had three children together: Aileen Martinez, Jessica Falcon, and William Falcon. The couple seemed happy with each other and were leading an extraordinary life.

However, Alina was brutally killed in broad daylight on August 6, 1992. According to reports, Alina was getting out of a beauty parlor in Coral Gables when unknown gunmen shot her repeatedly in the face and killed her. She died instantly, per the law enforcement authorities. The slaying occurred about 4:30 pm outside the Clara Lorenzo 2000 Hair Designer Salon.

Alina parked her vehicle and went into the parlor to buy shampoo and conditioner. As she came out, two men tried to grab her purse and take it with them. However, Alina managed to retrieve her purse from the duo and ran for her car. One man shot through the car window and shot her in the face. Meanwhile, the other person snatched her purse.

The whole incident puzzled the law enforcement agencies and they knew that it was not a random accident. However, the statement that came out from the police was exactly the opposite. The Sun cited the statement of a police spokesman named Don Blocker, who said that the incident was just random street violence and suspects were arrested in just a week’s time.

Alina was 33 years old when she died.

When will ‘Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami’ air?

The upcoming docuseries revolving around Augusto “Willie” Falcon and Salvador “Sal” Magluta will premiere exclusively on Netflix on August 4 at 3 am EST. It will be featuring interviews from all the people associated with the duo and people who were handling their case during the trial.
