The charges against a 16-year-old who shot and killed his ex-girlfriend’s mother in Homestead last month have been upgraded to those against an adult.
On Monday, prosecutors said that Eli Shinhoster, who shot and killed 38-year-old Eulalia Gonzalez on June 27, will face an adult charge of first-degree murder.
NBC6 is available for free and is streamed continuously all day, every day in South Florida.
Shinhoster allegedly preyed on Gonzalez, a mother of four, following the breakup of her relationship with her daughter, who was 18 years old, according to the police report.

According to the news, Shinhoster allegedly came up to Gonzalez on her front porch on Northwest 11th Street brandishing a revolver and shot her as she held her infant.
A mother and her infant daughter were discovered lying on the porch, both of them unhurt, after Gonzalez was shot in the head, according to the report.
Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries after being evacuated to Jackson South Medical Center.
Shinhoster evaded capture at first but was apprehended in the end.
The report indicated that Shinhoster and Gonzalez’s daughter had stopped their nine-month relationship two months before to the shooting.
The investigation stated that ever since then, Shinhoster had been in constant contact with Gonzalez over her daughter, threatening her and claiming that she would be unable to be with anyone else unless she remained with him.
It was anticipated that Shinhoster will be sent from the Juvenile Detention Center in Miami-Dade County to the adult prison.
