MIAMI, FLORIDA – A 16-year-old teenager from Florida has been arrested after allegedly shooting and killing the mother of his ex-girlfriend. According to reports, the incident took place on Thursday, June 27, when the suspect shot 38-year-old Eulalia Gonzalez in the head while she was holding her infant daughter on the front porch of her home. The victim was rushed to Jackson South Medical Center but was pronounced dead shortly after.
The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed due to his age, is facing charges of first-degree murder and firearm possession by a minor. It is unclear at this time whether he has entered any pleas or retained legal representation.
Police investigations suggest that Gonzalez’s daughter had ended her nine-month-long relationship with the suspect approximately two months before the tragic incident. During the relationship, the suspect allegedly communicated with the victim and issued threats to her daughter, stating that she could not be with anyone else if she was not with him.
Law enforcement was able to apprehend the suspect after obtaining a search warrant for his residence. During questioning, the teenager reportedly confessed to using a ride-share app to travel to and flee the crime scene. He allegedly admitted that the murder was part of his plan to seek revenge against his ex-girlfriend’s family for ending their relationship.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for Gonzalez’s family to help cover the unexpected expenses that have arisen as a result of her tragic death. Described as a vibrant, loving mother of four children, Gonzalez’s untimely passing has left her loved ones devastated.
Further details and updates of this ongoing investigation are yet to be released by the authorities.
