Guzman was Lobo's ex-girlfriend's daughter.
Authorities told the paper, Lobo was mad over the couple's breakup so he broke into his ex-girlfriend's Little Havana home back in June.
Guzman was home at the time which is when police said Lobo stabbed her to death and then tried to make it look like she killed herself.
