9 Year Old Girl Killed In Florida Murder/Suicide


"MIAMI, FL - What appears to be a murder-suicide in a South Miami-Dade home has left a young man critically injured and his 9-year-old sister and her stepfather dead.

"It was gray, rainy and near freezing Saturday morning, when police were called to a one-story home on the 20500 block of Southwest 125th Avenue. When they arrived at about 10 a.m., they found a 24-year-old man who had been shot minutes earlier, Miami-Dade police said.

"Although he was gravely injured, he led officers to the back of the home.

"But as officers neared the backyard, they heard one final shot, according to Miami-Dade police spokesman Detective Javier Baez.

"There, they found the young man's 55-year-old stepfather, Julian Marin, dead with a gunshot wound.

"After searching the house, officers found that Marin's 9-year-old stepdaughter, Caroline Camelo, had also been shot.

"Caroline was barely clinging to life when she was transported to Miami Children's Hospital, but she died a short time later.

"Although police did not identify by name those involved in Saturday's shooting, they did say the stepfather, believed to be Marin, was likely the shooter.

"Neighbors said they heard no gunshots, although police discovered there had been several."
