A 70-year-old woman, Maria Aparecida, sent an audio message for help after being shot, with her 17-year-old granddaughter as the primary suspect in the attack.
In a harrowing incident in Ariquemes, Rondônia, a 70-year-old woman named Maria Aparecida sent a distressing audio message to her family after being shot by her 17-year-old granddaughter, who is the main suspect. The attack unfolded when the teenager requested her grandparents to sit down for a conversation, only to suddenly open fire on them, resulting in the death of Maria's husband, José dos Santos, while Maria was shot in the mouth and chest but managed to survive by pretending to be dead.
Following the incident, the granddaughter fled the scene in a red pickup truck, prompting police to look into reports suggesting her boyfriend may have been involved in the crime. The situation escalated quickly as it was confirmed that the case is being treated as both qualified homicide and attempted homicide, reflecting the severity and complexity of the familial conflict. The police are now undertaking a thorough investigation to piece together the events leading to this tragic confrontation.
On the day after the shooting, the adolescent turned herself in to the police with two lawyers, indicating a level of premeditation or at least a well-considered response to the aftermath of the incident. The implications of such a young person being accused of such serious crimes raise questions surrounding the family dynamics, mental health, and the influence of external factors such as relationships on youth behavior.
