On Tuesday evening, according to the report, Canarelli's estranged wife – whose name was also withheld – called him to ask him to pick up their son from the home on 98th Trail North, southeast of Jupiter Farms Park. When he arrived, the woman's current partner was upset that Canarelli was at the house and went up to a gate outside the residence, where the two men began arguing. The woman said as they argued, she went to open the gate to let her son out when she heard a gunshot, according to the PBSO report. The man's mother was also at the home to pick up his two children and saw the argument unfold. She told investigators that at one point her son picked up "a pebble" in his hand and Canarelli had a gun, according to the report.
