'I think he just shot my sister:' 911 calls released in Osceola murder-suicide

Shooting left teenage mother dead

Larissa Barros and Kai Williams

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – Recently released 911 calls illustrate the panic and terror moments before a man fatally shot his ex-girlfriend, a teenage mother who was just weeks away from graduating high school with honors.

Larissa Barros, 18, was fatally shot May 11 when her ex-boyfriend, Kai Williams, 20, violated a domestic injunction and showed up at her home on Blackpool Way in Poinciana. Williams also shot himself, deputies said.

Barros and her sister called 911 when Williams showed up at the residence that afternoon.

"My ex-boyfriend is breaking into the house. I have an injunction against him, please send the police quick," Barros told a 911 operator.

She can then be heard screaming "back up, back up," and "what do you want?" A man can also be heard yelling in the background, struggling with Barros.

The operator tries to get Barros back on the phone. She never returns to the line.

A woman claiming to be Barros' sister also called 911. 

"My sister's stalker just came to the house and I was outside and ... he looked like he was pulling a gun so I just hit him," the woman told 911. 

She becomes more and more distressed while talking to the operator then hangs up before calling back.

She screams again in the second 911 call, concerned for the safety of her sister and for her 8-month-old son who was inside the home.

About two minutes into the second call, the woman sees Williams leaving the house and walking toward her. 

"He's coming toward me. I don't know where to go, I don't where to go. I think he just shot my sister, he probably shot my sister," the woman said.

She breaks down in tears.

"I should have killed him. I should have [expletive] killed him, I should have [expletive] killed him," the woman said.

The operator tries to stop the woman from going back to the house or from hanging up the phone.

The woman's fear turns to frustration.

"Sir, I don't feel like I'm getting any help. I'm sitting here and I don't know what's going on with my son. I need to know what's going on with my son and my little sister," the woman said. 

Deputies said Williams turned the gun on himself as they tried to approach him. Barros died at the home.

Before the fatal shooting, Williams was accused of slashing Barros' tires and setting her car on fire while she was attending classes at Liberty High School, and of stalking her on multiple occasions.

“For almost two years my life has been made miserable by Kai Williams,” Barros wrote in a letter to the court. “He is currently in jail (on) violation of probation charges and aggravated stalking charges with me as the victim. I feel very unsafe, myself and anyone around me are in danger, Kai has been unstable and jealous. I am afraid he will hurt me or my child if he gets the opportunity.”

Barros had filed multiple domestic-violence injunctions against Williams, which he violated on the afternoon authorities say he killed her.
