Now 53, Dube had arrived from Ottawa with her two teen sons exactly two months earlier to take up her post as Canada's consul general in Miami. It had been a whirlwind of wrapping up her old job -- she had been director general for North America, helping oversee Canada's consular network in the U.

The older teen had been doing well and she thought he could do with a reward. Instead, that March 30 afternoon, the brothers headed to a dingy apartment, Jean's math homework in a black Jansport backpack on the back seat. He was carrying an American-made. His plan, police would allege, was to rob a drug dealer of about grams of marijuana. Inside, Jean and Anthony Rodriguez, then 19, had a back and forth, according to court evidence, along the lines of, "Show me the money," "Show me the drugs.

Within minutes, Jean and another teen, Joshua Wright, 17, had died in an exchange of gunfire. Jean had been shot three times, including in the head. Rodriguez, a bullet wound to his arm, would tell police that he picked up a handgun as he bolted into the sunshine, stopping only to rush back inside to retrieve his drugs. His green iPhone was left inside in a pool of blood.

Outside, an agitated and distraught Marc Wabafiyebazu, who had tried in vain to get some answers from the fleeing dealer, could only watch as Rodriguez drove off to abandon his silver Chevy Malibu at a gas station -- the same place he had been arrested a month earlier with a loaded gun for drug trafficking. Police had released him without charge two weeks before Jean's death.

Minutes after the dealer's hasty exit, police ordered Marc to his knees and arrested him on the sidewalk as they swarmed the bloody, casing-riddled crime scene. For hours, Marc was left in an interrogation room, handcuffed to a chair. No one read him his rights or warned him about the perils of speaking to the officers. Investigators refused his pleas to call his mother, who would go to bed about 10 p.

In court the following day, the judge gave Dube, now stricken with the knowledge her older son was dead, 30 seconds to hug her bereft, defeated younger son. There was no space. Most pressing for Dube was ensuring that Marc survived. The brothers had developed an extraordinarily close bond through his mother's various postings and moves, including a stint as ambassador to Zimbabwe that began in More of a pliant follower, Marc kept saying he didn't know if he could live without his brother.

In the gloom of the courtroom that day, Dube realized she had to shape up for her boy's sake. Surveillance video at the two-storey apartment complex backs that up. But based on a purported confession he gave over a couple of minutes from the back seat of a cruiser to a rookie officer who was driving, police alleged Marc was in on his brother's planned armed robbery of the drug dealer.

I know you're a police officer but everyone is going to talk, so I may as well talk'," Officer Juan Velez testified the accused told him. Marc, the officer testified, also said he and his brother had done such ripoffs before in Ottawa. Dube, however, is adamant that Marc said something quite different: That while Jean might have done something like that, he himself had never done so.

Nevertheless, police argued, Marc had now confessed to being a party to the botched robbery and hence was, under Florida's felony law, culpable in the killings. They know what they're buying," prosecutor Marie Mato declared. He was there to assist his brother in the rip. Also charged separately with third-degree felony murder were the year-old tenant of the apartment where the shooting happened, which police described as a filthy drug den, and Rodriguez, who had turned himself in.

Police found an Argentina-made. Both co-accused would soon be granted bail and later plead out to lesser marijuana drug charges in exchange for boot-camp sentences and probation. The man who admitted to brokering the deal -- he arrived at the scene in his dad's shiny gold Cadillac and fled unhurt when the shooting started -- was never charged.

At Marc's bail hearing, Dube buried her face in her hands or dabbed at her eyes as investigators described in gruesome detail how her older son had met his violent end.
