A 16-year-old boy was transferred to the Metro West Detention Center Monday as he is now being charged as an adult in the fatal shooting of his ex-girlfriend's mother.
The attorney for Eli Zachary Shinhoster waived his appearance in court Monday.
Prior to the transfer, Shinhoster had been held in Juvenile Detention since his arrest on July 1.
Miami-Dade police said the shooting occurred just before 7:40 p.m. on June 27 outside the victim's home in the 600 block of Northwest 11th Street in Homestead.
According to Shinhoster's arrest report, he took a rideshare to the home "in order to carry out his plan of killing one of his ex-girlfriend's family members in order to hurt her because she ended the relationship."
