When her two young daughters wound up injured in a shooting on Tuesday, police say, Angela Pupo offered a detailed story — falsely blaming two Black men.
She claimed her car was stopped at an intersection in Liberty City when, through her rearview mirror, she “observed two black males running toward her vehicle,” according to a Miami-Dade police report.
Gunshots rang out, followed by the sound of glass shattering. One man was thin “with dreads,” the other “heavyset with a low haircut,” she told officers during questioning at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Police have now charged Pupo, 32, a white Cuban American, with providing false information to police during an investigation, a misdemeanor. Suspicious detectives grilled Pupo, who stuck to her story for about 20 minutes before breaking down in tears and admitting she lied, according to an arrest report released on Thursday.
Pupo remained jailed on Thursday afternoon. Her court record does not yet list a defense attorney.
The charge adds to the other accusations against Pupo, who police say admitted she took her daughters along to shoplift at a Hialeah seafood market. The real shooting, police said, happened when a security guard fired his pistol at Pupo’s car as it drove off, injuring the girls, ages 6 and 8.
Hialeah Police arrested Pupo on charges of aggravated child abuse and petty theft. Stedman Amaya, the suspected shoplifter who was with Pupo and is accused of stealing a $199 box of lobster tails, is on the run.
The security guard, Leonardo Morales Gomez, 50, is facing two counts of attempted murder and two counts of attempted manslaughter. Investigators say Morales was not in danger when he fired his gun at the fleeing car.
