A 16-year-old in Florida has been arrested for allegedly killing his ex-girlfriend’s mother, fatally shooting the 38-year-old woman as an act of revenge because he was angry about being dumped.
Eli Zachary Shinhoster was taken into custody on Monday and charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of being a minor in possession of a firearm in the slaying of Eulalia Gonzalez Martin De Osorio.
According to a release from Crime Stoppers Miami & Florida Keys, Gonzalez on Thursday, June 27, at about 7:40 p.m. was fatally shot while standing on the front porch of her home in the area of N.W. 11th Street and N.W. 6th Avenue in Homestead, Florida.
A copy of the probable cause affidavit obtained by Miami Fox affiliate WSVN provided additional details on the unprovoked attack.
The report states that officers with the Homestead Police Department and emergency medical personnel with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to Gonzalez’s home in the 600 block of 11th Street in regard to reports of a female being shot in the head. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders reportedly located Gonzalez in front of her home suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head, specifically, her eye.
