A chilling 911 call revealed the moment a Florida real estate titan’s daughter came face-to-face with a gunman allegedly hired by her own father to take out a hit on her mother.
Century Homebuilders Group president Sergio Pino took his own life this month amid an FBI investigation into the failed murder-for-hire plot that targeted his estranged wife, Tatiana, with whom he had been locked in a tense divorce battle for over two years.
Now audio from a 911 call shows how the couple’s daughter, Alessandra, was confronted by a gunman her dad allegedly hired — leaving her terrified that her mom might have been killed.
“Please, someone with a gun is here,” Alessandra, 26, could be heard begging the operator in the June 23 call obtained by the Miami Herald.
“He just pointed a gun at me, and they’re still here,” she continued. “I need to tell my mom not to come home. They might be looking for her. She’s a victim.”
At the time, Alessandra did not know that her mother had already spotted the suspect “brandishing a firearm and running toward her vehicle” when she returned from church that morning, charging documents show.
Tatiana immediately leaned on the horn and floored her SUV into the backyard in a bid to get away from the gunman, who followed her on foot before turning back to the front of the house.
The commotion drew Alessandra outside, where she came face-to-face with the gunman but still saw no sign of her mother.
“Can I call my mom, please?” she pleaded with the dispatcher, who instructed her to stay on the line until cops showed up.
Alessandra then checked her mom’s location on her phone — and realized she was there.
“Oh my gosh, my mom is here,” she panicked. “They might have shot her.”
A little over three minutes into the call, Alessandra reported that the threat seemed to have left.
“I think they’re gone,” she told the dispatcher.
An unidentified neighbor also pulled up in a golf cart and said that he saw the would-be attacker fleeing the scene with a getaway driver.
“I’m going to the front of my house to check if my mom is there,” Alessandra told the 911 dispatcher.
The call cut off shortly before the pair were reunited.
Investigators used surveillance footage to track two vehicles linked to the scary near-miss, which led to the arrest of accused gunmanb Vernon Green, 53, and three other suspects: Fausto Villar, Bayron Bennett, and Avery Bivens.
Sergio Pino allegedly paid the crew $150,000 to kill his wife by June 24. The Century Homebuilders Group president supposedly teased a $150,000 bonus if the crime could not traced back to him, court documents said.
In her interview with police, Tatiana Pino claimed that her estranged husband had tried to have her killed several times since 2019 – including poisoning her with fentanyl and setting fire to her sister’s car twice, the write-up added.
Last August, Pino also supposedly rented out a Home Depot truck that slammed into Tatiana’s car while she was sitting in her driveway.
Green and the other three suspects in the June 23 incident are now facing a slew of charges, including murder for hire, stalking, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.
Pino, 67, shot himself during an FBI raid at his Coral Gables mansion on July 16 – before he could be charged in connection with the alleged plot.
In her discussions with police, Tatiana suggested that her husband had a “financial motive” for wanting her dead, but did not elaborate. Pino was estimated to be worth around $153 million, WTVJ said.
