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 teenager from Hialeah, Florida, on October 12.
In an 18-minute call, excerpts of which were broadcast on local news channel 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 had taken photos of the scene to show them to his friends. “I took pictures and told my friends regarding it. Is it bad?” he clarified.
The young man also admitted to the dispatcher that he was going to shoot himself, but that he did not want to do it.
The call ended when police arrived and arrested the teen. The latter now faces first-degree murder charges and will be tried as an adult, the New York Post.
His father and grandmother appeared last Friday on his behalf.
“It is very unfortunate that this tragedy happened, but this child is very humble, very respectful and no one might have imagined that this might happen one day,” said the teenager’s father José Rosa, on the Local 10 channel.
“He’s a child. No one in the house, in the family, considers him an adult,” he added.
