Florida student's mother fatally shot during online Zoom class as teacher watched, police say
A 10-year-old Florida girl was beginning her first day of online school when her mother was shot to death by her ex-boyfriend inside their home, investigators said Tuesday.
A suspect identified as Donald Williams, 27, fatally shot Maribel Rosado Morales, 32, in front of her four children and their two cousins at her Indiantown home, Martin County Sheriff William Snyder told reporters at a news conference, which was recorded by WPEC-TV of West Palm Beach.
The shooting unfolded during an argument after Williams entered the home around 8 a.m. and confronted Rosado Morales about an online video, Snyder said. Williams shot her multiple times and fled the home, the sheriff said.

The girl's teacher at Warfield Elementary School witnessed the incident via video while setting up the class Zoom call, Snyder said.
"The teacher's online — I've never done a Zoom with children, so I'm picturing there's other children on — and the teacher can see the children," he said, adding that she "heard a commotion, heard profanity, realized it was some sort of domestic altercation.”
"The teacher said she mutes her button [so] nobody has to hear it, and then she sees the 10-year-old put her hands up to her ears," Snyder said. The student's end of the Zoom call cut out almost immediately after the child covered her ears, the sheriff said. A bullet had struck the computer.
Williams fled the scene before a SWAT team tracked him down and took him into custody. He later confessed to the shooting and will face a charge of first-degree murder, Snyder said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
