EXCLUSIVE: A Milwaukee 10-year-old has been charged as an adult with fatally shooting his mother. Lueritha Mann, the boy's grandmother, is certain that prosecution of the 10-year-old as an adult is not at all what her daughter would want.
The Milwaukee 10-year-old charged as an adult with fatally shooting his mother after she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset tells his family that he is still on Santa’s list.
Events such as decorating for Christmas, elaborate birthday parties and trips to far-off places were part of Quiana’s effort to help the youngest of her four children cope with psychiatric disturbances. Two years ago, he fell off of a swing at school and hit the back of his head, suffering a concussion.
Quiana had been taking her son to a therapist whose diagnosis confirmed the severity of his illness. She got daily reports from his school whether he had disrupted the class on that particular day. And there was no shortage of people willing to do what they could to assist her. He appeared to like the trips, but wherever they went he seemed unable to shake off his inner torment.
Around 7 a.m., he went into the second-floor bedroom where his 26-year-old real-life sister, Brianna Moore, sleeps.The boy led Moore to the basement, where mother lay dead in a pool of blood. She called 911 and Lueritha. A maternal aunt, Sharhonda Reid, came to take the boy to her home. She asked him where the house keys were kept and he retrieved a set from his bedroom, telling her he had hid them from his mother.
The family apprised the detectives of the boy’s psychiatric history and said the killing might have been recorded by cameras Quiana had installed in the house—but somebody had unplugged them two weeks before.“During this Mirandized interview, [the boy] admitted that he was not twirling the gun around when he shot his mom,” the complaint says.
