A newly released 911 call placed after the discovery of a Florida woman and her 2-year-old son painted a horrifying picture of the scene of an alleged attempted murder-suicide.
Local NBC affiliate WTVJ reported on the call, which was released by police in Plantation, Florida, just over a year since the alleged crime took place. On March 26, 2024, the parents of 38-year-old Sara Ashley Gama went to her home after she stopped answering phone calls and were met with a bloody scene. Once they walked through the house, they discovered their daughter dead as well as their young grandson, Ethan, facedown in the pool. Their son-in-law, 41-year-old Jean Carlos Aponte, was unresponsive in the bedroom.
