He kills his mother, then sends photos to his friends before calling 911 to confess to his crime.
“Why did you kill your mother?”: This is the difficult sentence a 911 dispatcher had to say to a Hialeah, Florida, teenager on October 12th.
In an 18-minute call, excerpts of which were broadcast on local news station WSVN, Derek Rosa said he stabbed his mother while his little sister slept in her crib nearby. “She is dead […] “There’s blood all over the floor,” he said.
The 13-year-old then said he took photos of the scene to show his friends. “I took photos and told my friends about them. Is it bad?” he clarified.
The young man also admitted to the dispatcher that he wanted to shoot himself but didn’t want to.
The call ended when police arrived and arrested the teenager. The latter is now charged with first-degree murder and will be tried as an adult, the New York Post reported.
His father and grandmother appeared on his behalf last Friday.
“It’s very unfortunate that this tragedy happened, but this child is very humble, very respectful and no one could have imagined that something like this could happen one day,” the teen’s father, Jose Rosa, told Local 10 .
“He is a child. Nobody in the house, in the family thinks he is an adult,” he added.
