Teenage Friendship Turns D**dly
A simple friendship ended in tragedy when 16-year-old Gabriela Nicole Pratts Rosario was vi*lently ki**ed in front of her mother, Lisandra Lisa Rosario. The shocking incident in Puerto Rico has sent waves of grief through the community and sparked national outrage. Heartbreaking images from Gabriela’s funeral intensified public emotion.
The crime exposed a disturbing pattern of vi*lence involving both teenagers and adults. Authorities confirmed that the a**ack was intentional, carried out by another mother and her daughter.
From Friends to Foes
Gabriela, about to turn 17, dreamed of becoming a psychologist. Friends and teachers described her as kind, compassionate, and an animal lover. She was close to Anthonieshka Avilés Cabrera, who would later emerge as one of the a**ackers.
According to the Secretary of Education, the two girls were once friends, but tensions escalated over time. These conflicts ultimately triggered one of Puerto Rico’s most sh*cking recent crimes.
The Fatal Night
On August 10, an end-of-summer party in Aibonito ended in cha*s. After the gathering, a group moved to Desvío Roberto Colón, where a fig.ht broke out. Gabriela’s older sister was a**acked, and Gabriela stepped in to defend her.
That’s when 40-year-old Elvia Cabrera Rivera and her 17-year-old daughter, Anthonieshka, intervened. Authorities say the two a**acked Gabriela with a sharp object. The teenager suffered eight st*b w**nds. A friend who tried to protect her received three severe injuries, nearly losing a lung.
Gabriela’s mother witnessed the assault but was restrained by bystanders. Police arrived at 12:15 a.m., but Gabriela had already succumbed to her injuries.
A Mother’s Grief
Elvia and Anthonieshka were a**ested days later. As they were taken into custody, Lisandra shouted, “M*rderers!” demanding justice. While she and Gabriela’s aunt thanked supporters, they declined further comments to the press.
Hundreds of neighbors, friends, and family attended Gabriela’s funeral in Aibonito. The procession honored her life and mourned her loss. Attendees shared messages of faith and encouraged one another to pray for Gabriela’s peace. Videos and images captured Lisandra’s heartbreak, surrounded by loved ones.
Legal Action Underway
Authorities clarified that the attack was deliberate. A prosecutor stated, “This was not a fight. It was done with criminal intent. Nine stab wounds indicate intent to k*ll.”
Bail for both defendants was set at $1 million each. Anthonieshka will face trial as an adult due to the severity of the crime. Evidence, including witness testimony, bl0*dstained clothing, and the w**pon, confirmed that the mother-daughter duo acted together. Investigators continue to probe other potential participants who restrained Gabriela’s mother during the a**ault.
A Call for Justice
Gabriela’s tragic d**th has united her family and community. While legal proceedings continue, her story has ignited a strong demand for justice and a reminder of the devastating consequences of vi*lence.
