El Paso man accused of stalking Shakira at her Miami home

MIAMI BEACH, Florida (KVIA) -- ABC-7 has obtained documents from Miami Beach police detailing what led to the arrest of El Pasoan Daniel John Valtier outside of Shakira's home yesterday morning. Shakira’s security had been made aware of 56-year-old Valtier following several social media posts and deliveries made to her home between late December and the start of 2024, according to the arrest report.

The security team issued several warnings to Valtier, but he continued sending wine bottles, chocolates and toys directly to her home, according to police. In Valtier’s posts, he claimed to have a relationship and a family with Shakira. On Wednesday, Shakira’s security team shared with police the social media post indicating Valtier was in Florida intending to visit her home.

As a result, when Valtier arrived outside Shakira’s home on Monday he was arrested by police and is now facing one count of stalking. He made his appearance in bond court today, still claiming Shakira is his wife. The judge increased his bond to $100,000 dollars and issued a stay away order.
