In the Courtroom

Ra’myl Pierre passed away on Saturday, May 18, 2025
In what they are expressing
At the Fort Pierce residence of the family, authorities responded to a request for a welfare check that was made by school resource deputies shortly after ten o’clock in the morning. As soon as the deputies arrived, they discovered the body of Ra’myl Pierre, who was six years old, lying on his bed, according to Sheriff Richard R. Del Toro Jr.
According to reports, Paulynice stated to the investigators that she believed she was being directed by God to “exorcise demons” from her son’s body during the course of one of the interviews. According to the explanation provided by the sheriff, the mother believed that her child had been liberated from those demons when the youngster stopped moving and passed dead.
According to Del Toro, “the mother escorted deputies into the home and met them where they were standing in the driveway.” At the time that the cops reached the child’s bedroom, they discovered that the boy had passed away.
Specifics of the investigation
The autopsy will determine the cause of death as well as the manner in which the individual passed away. According to the sheriff’s office, they had previously responded to the residence for domestic issues that were unrelated to the child and included the mother and her sister, but they had never done so with the child present. The last contact came in on May 17, and it was about a medical concern that the mother was experiencing. This was the day before the killing may have taken place.
It is believed by the investigators that the homicide took place on May 18, which was the last time the mother apparently communicated with her son. It was reported by the sheriff that Paulynice displayed a wide range of emotions over the course of the investigation, ranging from crying to laughing.
