Police identify Kevin Pimentel as teen shooter in Florida ‘food fight’ killing
An argument over food turned fatal Wednesday evening when a teen boy shot and killed his 6-year-old brother, injured his older brother before turning the handgun on himself and now police identify the boys involved in the shocking killing.
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco identified the 12-year-old boy as Kevin Pimentel explaining that he killed 6-year-old Brady Pimentel and wounded 16-year-old Trevor Pimentel.
The sheriff earlier said there was an argument over food, but at a news conference Thursday he said that was under investigation.
The sheriff says the boys were home alone while their mother was working. Authorities have found no evidence that child welfare officials or police had been called to the home before the shooting Wednesday night.
Nocco says that even the mother still doesn’t know all of the details about the shooting. The woman, Helen Campochiaro, reportedly works two jobs and Nocco said she’s “going through an absolute living hell right now.”
