Disturbing babycam footage shows a 13 year-old Florida honors student standing over his sleeping mom in her bed, moments before he allegedly murdered her.
Derek Rosa was seen in an eerie black and white image released by Miami-Dade District Attorney's Office Monday, looming over his 39 year-old mom Irina Garcia in her bed on the night of October 12.
The time stamp on the static image shows 11pm. Rosa called 911 to report the murder around 11:30pm.
His right arm appears to be moving in the image, although prosecutors have yet to provide further detail on what they allege is happening in the photo.
Another haunting photo released by investigators shows Garcia in her bed, cradling her 14-day-old baby, at 10:23pm the same evening. The bedroom light is on, meaning the image is in color.
Just an hour later Irina would be dead.
Other images released include a selfie Rosa is accused of sending a friend after the killing, with what appears to be blood smeared on his hands. Distressing images of a pink-handled knife covered with blood were shared too
Rosa has been charged as an adult over the murder. He has pleaded not guilty: his lawyers are yet to declare any mental illness defense.
No explanation has yet been given for the frenzied attack.
After the stabbing, he called 911 at around 11:30pm to report having just killed his mother, while his newborn baby sister slept in her crib nearby.
He told the operator that he stabbed his mother in her sleep, and that he was also contemplating suicide - but said he 'didn't want' to kill himself.

I saw that photo and thought there was something off about it.
I could not help but wonder who the father of the baby really was. Normally when such a photo is taken it’s either the mom holding the belly, the father of the baby, or both. I’ve never seen a sibling unless it was something “playful” and it was a child under 10.
If he was already feeling vulnerable, that must have been another straw on the camel's back.
If mom raised a kid that could do this maybe its ok she killed her
It will turn out that the kid was already receiving mental health “treatment”. Just like every other violent loonie and/or serial killer and/or mass shooters.
