MIAMI (AP) — A Canadian diplomat's teenage son could get a plea deal that includes boot camp instead of prison for his role in a fatal Florida shooting that killed his brother and another teenager.
A judge in Miami is scheduled Friday to consider the proposed agreement that would send 15-year-old Marc Wabafiyebazu to a six-month program that includes behavior courses, job training and drug treatment. Wabafiyebazu's mother is Roxanne Dube, on leave as Canada's consul general in Miami.
Wabafiyebazu was charged as an adult with felony murder in a drug-related March 2015 shooting that killed his 17-year-old brother Jean and 17-year-old Joshua Wright. Police say the Wabafiyebazu brothers tried to rob marijuana dealers when shooting erupted.
Defense attorneys have described Wabafiyebazu as an innocent tagalong to a troubled older brother.
