Loretta Bruno, 48, of Homestead, Florida, was shot dead on the morning of October 19, 2021, as she approached a bus stop after being dropped off by a friend on the way to work. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say her son, 20-year-old Andrew Eloissaint, had been hiding in nearby bushes and ambushed her, firing multiple shots. Investigators allege the attack followed repeated verbal disputes over inheritance money from his deceased father; when Andrew learned the funds had been spent he reportedly threatened his mother. The friend who dropped Loretta off was also fired upon, with a car window shattered and a tire flattened. Andrew Eloissaint was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder and held without bond.

Loretta was described by family as a devoted mother who emigrated from Haiti to provide for her children. What details about motive or the events that morning would help explain how the situation escalated to this fatal outcome?
