Florida woman grabs her brother’s privates and chokes her mom because a PS4 game went missing

In September 2025, jurors in Judge Peter Brigham’s courtroom in Florida took just twenty minutes to convict 21-year-old Alexandra Dominguez of Strangulation and Battery, according to a social media update from the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office. And it all began over a missing PlayStation 4 game.

Court records show the incident happened on April 24, 2024, when deputies with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) were called to a home in Ocala, Florida, about 80 miles southeast of Orlando.

The call stemmed from a heated altercation between Dominguez and two family members.
According to reports, Dominguez had followed her brother and mother home from a local park, where they had arranged to retrieve a PlayStation 4 gaming console.

Reports say Dominguez’s family instructed her to wait outside while one of the victims went inside to bring her the console. When the device was handed over, Dominguez allegedly became enraged over a missing box and game.

The verbal dispute quickly escalated

After noticing the missing game, deputies say Dominguez pushed her brother to the ground, grabbed his genitals, and pulled his beard before placing her hands around her mother’s throat and choking her when her mother tried to intervene.

Both victims showed injuries that matched their statements, according to the sheriff’s office. Dominguez had fled the scene, and deputies attempted to reach Dominguez by phone, but she did not answer. A warrant was later issued for her arrest, and she was taken into custody.

In court, prosecutors presented evidence of the attack, including testimony from the victims and responding deputies. Jurors needed less than half an hour to return guilty verdicts on both charges.

The State Attorney’s Office credited Assistant State Attorney Lillian Rozsa with securing the conviction, noting her role in presenting a strong case built on the victims’ accounts and corroborating evidence.

“This case reflects our commitment to ensuring that victims of domestic violence are heard and that offenders are held accountable,” the office said in its release.

Dominquez could spend up to 5 years in prison

Dominguez was immediately taken into custody following the verdict. She will remain jailed while a pre-sentence investigation is completed before her sentencing hearing. Under Florida law, Domestic Battery by Strangulation is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. The additional misdemeanor battery charge is punishable by up to one year in county jail.
