A 10-year-old Milwaukee boy is now charged as an adult with first-degree reckless homicide for allegedly fatally shooting his mother on Monday, Nov. 21.
Due to age considerations, the complaint says the 10-year-old "was allowed to remain with family." However, the next day, family members contacted police with serious concerns. Police were told the 10-year-old "had 'rage issues' all of his life. He becomes very angry and acts out," the complaint says.
In a later interview with police, the 10-year-old boy "admitted that he was not twirling the gun around when he shot his mom," the complaint says. The 10-year-old went on to tell police he "admitted that his mother would not allow him to have something from Amazon that he wanted to have. admitted that he retrieved the gun because he was mad at her for waking him up at 6 a.m.," the complaint says.
A person police spoke with indicated the boy logged onto his mother's Amazon account on Nov. 22 following her death, and ordered the virtual reality headset he wanted. Police located a black semi-automatic 9mm Glock 43 handgun in the residence. Officials noted a fired cartridge was located at the bottom of the basement stairs.
