LARGO, Florida – Detectives assigned to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Homicide and Robbery Unit have arrested a woman for Attempted Murder in the First Degree after shooting her father Sunday morning.

On June 1, 2025, at approximately 9:04 a.m., Rogerio Nascimento and his estranged wife arrived at the Sheriff’s Administration Building, located at 10750 Ulmerton Road, for a child custody exchange.

Rogerio was accompanied by his sister, and his estranged wife was accompanied by their four minor children and a friend.

During the exchange, Rogerio, his sister, and his estranged wife were standing outside their vehicles in the parking lot, conversing. Detectives say three of the four children were reportedly hesitant to exit the vehicle.

According to detectives, at this time, the suspect, 28-year-old Gabriella Nascimento, arrived separately, exited her vehicle, and joined the conversation in the parking lot.

Gabriella is Rogerio’s biological daughter.

Shortly after her arrival, Gabriella approached Rogerio with a semi-automatic firearm and shot him in the back. Rogerio ran toward the front lobby of the Sheriff’s Administration Building, and Gabriella chased after him on foot, shooting at him a second time, but missed.

Rogerio then entered the front lobby and asked for help. Gabriella fell on the sidewalk, placed the firearm on the ground, and stood on the sidewalk near the parking lot until deputies took her into custody.

Rogerio was transported to the hospital in critical but stable condition. There were no other injuries.

Gabriella was arrested and charged with Attempted Murder in the First Degree. She was transported to the Pinellas County Jail.
