Phenix City woman shot, killed 12-year-old boy who was ‘rummaging’ in her yard, DA says
[/i][/b]

A 12-year-old boy killed earlier this week in Phenix City was with his brother and another boy on the suspect’s property when he was fatally shot, authorities said Friday.

Connor Mullins, who just turned 12, and the others were on land that belongs to 50-year-old Tywoana Jakes on Windtree Drive off U.S. 80. The land is across the street from Jakes’ home and belongs to the Jakes family.

Russell County District Attorney Rick Chancey Friday said the boys were on the property about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday “apparently doing mischief and rummaging through stuff” when Jakes approached the children with a gun.

Two of the boys started to run away and apparently Connor bent down. Jakes fired a shot, striking the boy in the neck. He was pronounced dead on the scene.[/i][/b]

Gosh I wonder why

I can't think of anything

H? thoughts?

These boys were rummaging and up to mischief. Not gentle souls looking to be an astronaut

Any delay in charging this chick?

Nope.
 
Russell County District Attorney Rick Chancey Friday said the boys were on the property about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday “apparently doing mischief and rummaging through stuff” when Jakes approached the children with a gun.

Jakes appeared in a Russell County courtroom Friday where the charges against her were explained. She is charged with capital murder because the victim was under the age of 14.

Authorities are also investigating an incident where Jakes is accused of shooting someone else on her property in 2022. No charges have yet been filed in that case.

Jakes told authorities Friday she will hire her own attorneys and was given 30 days to do so.

Shot on Wednesday charged on Friday

Sounds like a delay

Yeah, it's the delay and charging that prompted all the media coverage. Shooting happened on Thursday, guy is 80+ years old, I don't suspect he was much of a flight risk. Did you hear anything about this case Dazzler? Did you make any comments on it?

Yeah, weird how the "delay in charging " didn't prompt more media coverage of this shooting.
 


Shot someone in 2022 and no charges, that seems to me like delay in charging. I'm sure there is plenty of media OUTRAGE covering it.
