26-year-old Florida man Adam Kien was jailed on May 27th after brutally assaulting a woman he was with at an Airbnb on McFerrin Avenue in Nashville. Police spoke with Diana Becerril outside of the Airbnb, who said she and Kien were visiting Nashville. They had been out drinking and got into an argument that continued when they returned to the Airbnb. The argument turned violent when Kien pushed Diana onto the bedroom floor beside the bed and started kicking her in her side. He then pulled her to the bed and suffocated her with a pillow. Diana struggled to breathe but was able to get up at some point and run into the bathroom closet. Kien followed her into the closet and grabbed wooden hangers, hitting her repeatedly. When the hangers broke from the impact of hitting her body, he used the pieces to try and stab her. After Kien was finished assaulting Diana, he left, and she was able to get to a phone and call the police. When Kien realized Diana was on the phone with the police, he forced his way back inside, took the phone, and ran. Police were on the line when the phone was taken and were able to corroborate Diana’s statement.
