Authorities report that a woman in Florida supposedly shot her father in the back on Sunday, during a child custody handover with his estranged spouse, right outside a sheriff’s office, while he was accompanied by his younger children.

Police have charged 28-year-old Gabriella Nascimento with attempted first-degree murder for the alleged shooting of her father, Rogerio Nascimento. This incident reportedly took place outside the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Administration Building, where Rogerio and his wife had arranged a custody exchange for their four young children, according to the sheriff’s office.

“During the exchange, Rogerio, his sister, and his estranged wife were standing outside their vehicles in the parking lot, conversing,” PCSO officials said in a press release. “Detectives say three of the four children were reportedly hesitant to exit the vehicle.”

It was around 9:04 a.m. when Rogerio Nascimento arrived at the administration building and met his wife, according to police. Gabriella Nascimento showed up after the children became hesitant to exit the estranged wife’s vehicle, the sheriff’s office reports. Rogerio and the wife were talking with his sister when the shooting happened.

“The suspect, 28-year-old Gabriella Nascimento, arrived separately, exited her vehicle, and joined the conversation in the parking lot,” PCSO officials said. “Shortly after her arrival, Gabriella approached Rogerio with a semi-automatic firearm and shot him in the back. Rogerio ran toward the front lobby of the Sheriff’s Administration Building, and Gabriella chased after him on foot, shooting at him a second time, but missed.”

Rogerio Nascimento tried scampering into the front lobby and asking for help, according to police, while Gabriella allegedly “fell on the sidewalk, placed the firearm on the ground, and stood” near the parking lot until deputies took her into custody. Rogerio was transported to a local hospital in critical but stable condition after being shot twice.
