A 14-year-old teenager ended the life of his 23-year-old sister this Wednesday after trying to mediate a family dispute over Christmas gifts in Florida, Miami.

The argument over gifts began when the three brothers were Christmas shopping with their mother and sister's two children.. The fight continued at the grandmother's house, where the sister, 23, told the younger brother to stop arguing with his older brother because it was Christmas Eve..

The older brother then shot the younger brother and fled the home, throwing his gun in a nearby yard, authorities said.. After being located, he was transferred to a mental health center, as he threatened to injure himself.

Once he is released from the mental health facility, he will be transferred to a juvenile detention center, according to the news release.

The 14-year-old brother was charged with first-degree murder, child abuse and possessing a firearm as a felon.. The 15-year-old was charged with attempted first-degree murder and tampering with evidence, the police department said.
