The disturbing incident occurred on Nov. 29, but video of the shooting was not released to the public until Monday. Telt was confined the next day and remained in prison ever since.
De Moura was rushed to a local hospital and survived the gunshot wound, but he was quickly transferred to another facility about 400 miles away from the courthouse.
The son attempted to kill his father’s alleged killer after De Moura allegedly shot and killed his father, Francisco Alves, at their home in Lagoa Alexandre in October 2012.
De Moura is said to have confessed to killing Telt’s father, who had gone out to look for a donkey that had wandered off his property.
