A couple was left shaken after two masked men broke into their home the day after Christmas, leading the husband to shoot and kill one of them, according to Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells. It happened around 9 p.m. Thursday at a home off of Hickory Hammock Circle in the River Club area in Bradenton. The couple had been enjoying their night at home when the husband got an alert from home security cameras about motion detected on the side of the house. As he checked the cameras, Wells said the homeowner saw two masked men outside trying to break in. He reportedly told his wife to get to a safe place and grabbed his gun before going to a spare bedroom/office where he was “immediately” confronted by one of the masked invaders. The homeowner fired his weapon at least three times, hitting the masked man who was already inside the house. The other masked invader, who deputies later identified as 39-year-old Michel Soto-Mella from Chile, was climbing through the window but then quickly backed out of the house and ran away, Wells said. Soto-Mella was later found by sheriff’s K-9s and deputies just a few blocks from the crime scene and was arrested. Wells said the sheriff's office is working with Border Patrol because Soto-Mella reportedly entered the country in California from Chile and was given a 90-day visa that has since expired. The sheriff's office said Soto-Mella now faces armed burglary, with other charges pending.
