Killing of Christian Aguiler: exposed to Pedro Bravo’s prison plan; Fake witnesses consider a crime after their suicide
A decade after being guilty of killing the best friend of his high school, Pedro Bravo attempted to reverse his life sentence through a complex plan related to false testimony and secret communication – a plan that eventually ended in failure, a confession and Bravo’s death.Bravo was serving a life imprisonment for the killing of 2012 Freshman Christian Aguiller, who was dating Bravo’s ex -girlfriend, Erica Friman. In March 2025, Bravo died of suicide inside the Okchobi corrective institute, convicted by two people involved in his alleged conspiracy shortly ago.
Plot unwelld via phone records and money transfer
Prosecutors say that Bravo orchestrated the scheme from jail, arranging false admirers using middlemen. Kelsey Edwards and Michael Angelo, who both admitted to lying later, were the lead players.Edwards, the fellow prisoner, was connected to Bravo through Brandon Campbell, claimed that the Aguiller was seen alive after his fight with Bravo. The officials discovered a mark of messages and cash app transactions between Bravo and Edwards, which revealed the arrangement.“They know everything,” Campbell warned Edwards in a recorded phone call. According to ABC News report, Campbell was not charged and cooperated in the investigation.Michael Angelo, who had earlier told the court that Bravo confessed to murder while in jail, later withdrew his statement. In 2025, he admitted that he lied and was sentenced to seven years in jail. Kelsey Edwards, who lied even during the case, was given five years of probation after being convicted for fraud.
Bravo finally confesses privately
As part of the unsuccessful attempt to overturn his sentence, Bravo privately admitted Edwards that he died in a car during the battle of the leader.This confession occurred over ten years after the disappearance of the agariler, which gave rise to an intensive discovery in Gainsville. Hundreds of volunteers helped to see him in the surrounding forest and marsh. Bravo initially claimed innocence, but the police became suspicious after discovery of discrepancies, unusual internet discoveries, and monitoring footage to clean their car at night.The body of Aguilar was eventually found in a shallow grave in Lavi County in October 2012. Bravo was convicted of first-degree murder and six other allegations in 2014.
Friendship becomes fatal
Bravo and Aguiller Miami were classmates at the Dormal Academy Charter School in Miami and both were studying in Gainsville when the tragedy occurred. The former girlfriend, Friman, first reported the disappearance to the Agiiller, who was worried at that time.Bravo’s handwritten magazines, internet history and physical evidence inspired investigators to make a strong case against them. The revelations of 2025 and the unsuccessful appeal attempt has now closed a major chapter in the long -running case.
