Boot camp is essentially a four-month military program in which participants go through physical drills and school programs six days a week, and would occur in a prison with other juveniles. Visitors are prohibited for the duration, but a phone call is allowed 30 days after admission and each month after.

If he were to complete the program successfully, the teen would likely spend two months doing “trade” work — for example in a warehouse or construction — before being released to his mother, Roxanne Dube, under probation-like conditions.

Both Mato and Wabafiyebazu’s lawyer, Curt Obront, agreed to try to have a plea proposal in place for a hearing on Dec. 15. The next boot camp intake is slated to start two days later.

Mato did make it clear she had not agreed to the boot camp idea, saying she would need the approval of Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle before she could accept any plea deal.

Ed Griffith, spokesman for the state attorney’s office, said Wabafiyebazu’s meeting the criteria for boot-camp admission was an “important step” but stressed no deal had been made.

“The whole matter is still unresolved,” Griffith said.

Dube, who resigned as consul general in August, declined to comment in light of the sensitivity of the situation.

Although the younger sibling was outside the residence where the deadly gunplay occurred and was never accused of shooting or even threatening anyone, police charged him with felony murder on the basis of his purported admission that he and his brother had planned to rob a drug dealer, sparking the violence.
