According to court records, a man who called the sheriff to investigate a burglary at his residence was arrested after authorities found his mother deceased in the home.
33-year-old Gregory Magloire was charged with second-degree murder.
The victim was 68-year-old Josephine Louise Magloire.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff was called by a man on Wednesday afternoon, later identified as the accused. Law & Crime had obtained an arrest affidavit, showing that Magloire had reported a burglary.
When sheriff deputies arrived on the scene, no one was present, and there was “no evidence of forced entry.”
Eventually, Gregory Magloire showed up on a bicycle, according to court documents. He pointed the sheriff to a window on the house, but it was undisturbed.
Gregory Magloire said he lived at the residence but did not want to enter. According to authorities, he used his key to let the deputies into the home.
Sheriff deputies explained that Magloire said his room was ransacked. It was odd, considering his claim that he had not been inside the house.
When the deputies went inside the home, they found a victim with facial and head trauma and a lot of blood.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was also on the scene. They confirmed that Josephine Louise Magloire was deceased.
Deputies detained him and brought him in for an interview with the sheriff’s office homicide bureau. This was according to the arrest affidavit.
According to the charging document, he admitted to the investigators to using different blunt objects to bludgeon his mother, causing her death.
Magloire is being held without bond. He is scheduled for a court appearance on Monday.
