Florida Boy Charged as Adult for Stabbing Mother: First Mugshot Released

A 13-year-old boy from Florida, Derek Rosa, has been charged as an adult for allegedly stabbing and killing his mother while his 14-day-old baby sister lay in a crib next to her. Rosa's mugshot has been released, showing a stoic expression. His father and grandmother appeared in court on his behalf, emphasizing support for the young boy. Rosa is being held without bond and will remain in custody until a judge reviews the defense's request to return him to juvenile custody. The honors student called 911 to report the murder and allegedly took pictures of his dead mother, which he sent to friends. Police believe the incident occurred while the mother was asleep, and there were no prior indications of mental health issues or problems in the family.
