A man from Florida is facing the possibility of the death penalty if convicted of allegedly shooting his sister following an incident where she expelled him from their mother’s residence.

Pedro Pablo Linares, aged 57, was taken into custody in July, several months after allegedly murdering his 60-year-old sister, Beatriz Linares-Calamita, at her Miami office. According to documents reviewed by Law&Crime, the eviction occurred because Linares-Calamita removed her brother from their mother’s domicile due to his failure to contribute financially or assist with responsibilities. Post-eviction, Linares reportedly began visiting his sister’s home without prior notice.

On April 4, he allegedly showed up to her place of work, where he was caught on camera shooting her multiple times before running away.

The arrest warrant mentions a Ring camera at the entrance of Linares-Calamita’s workplace, capturing Linares arriving around 4:59 p.m., attempting but failing to access the building. He was observed wearing blue gloves and a face-covered surgical mask.

Authorities note that Linares returned at 5:35 p.m., again wearing the gloves and mask, and this time found the door ajar. The warrant describes Linares as entering with a gun and shooting Linares-Calamita multiple times from a close distance before fleeing.

Linares was positively identified by Linares-Calamita’s husband and daughter after police showed them still images from the Ring camera video.

Linares managed to evade capture by escaping to Louisiana until he was apprehended on July 15. He faces charges of first-degree murder, armed burglary, and assault, and was officially indicted by a grand jury on September 3.

On Monday, the Miami-Dade State’s Attorney’s Office announced that they intended to seek the death penalty against Linares. He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 1.
