On 13 September 2024, Juliana Prosper, 48, along with two of her children, Giselle and Kyle, aged 13 and 16, were found dead in their flat, located in Luton, Bedfordshire, England. It was later revealed all three were shot dead in the early hours of the morning. Juliana's 18-year-old son, Nicholas Prosper, was later arrested and charged with committing the fatal shooting.

Background

Juliana Prosper (née Falcón) was born in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, on 4 June 1976, and had migrated to England, where she met and eventually married Ray Prosper, with whom she had 4 children. At the time of the killings, she resided in an apartment off Wauluds Bank Drive, located in the neighborhood of Leabank, with three of her children, including Nicholas.

Shooting

At 5:30 a.m., neighbors reported hearing gunshots in the area. Upon arrival, police discovered the three bodies, killed by gunshot wounds to the head.

Nicholas Prosper, 18, was arrested later that same day around 600 meters away from the area of the crime, and was found to be in possession of a shotgun he had illegally purchased the day before, along with a knife, unused in the attack. He was charged with three counts of murder, along with purchasing or acquiring a shotgun without a certificate, possession of a shotgun, and possession of a bladed article in a public place.

Legal proceedings

As Nicholas Prosper was led out of his first court appearance on 16 September, his father, Ray Prosper, shouted: "I still love you, son. It’s not your fault, OK?" at him before bursting into tears.

Although a motive for the killings is currently under investigation, a video uploaded by Prosper to Mega and shared through social media shows him declaring himself to be a "follower" of Clementine, a fictional character from the The Walking Dead videogame series, and showed contempt against his sister Gisele for picking a specific in-game choice several months prior, citing that "her face will be mutilated further than necessary".

Prosper's trial date was originally set for 5 December, though it was later delayed until 3 March 2025.
