10-year-old boy charged as adult after he shot his mother dead because he was upset over virtual reality headset

A 10-year-old boy who shot and killed his 44-year-old mother last week in Milwaukee is being charged with first-degree homicide as an adult.

The fatal shooting took place near 87th and Hemlock around 7 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 21.

According to a criminal complaint, the boy was allegedly mad at his mom for waking him up early and not letting him have something on Amazon.

Police initially reported the boy was playing with the gun when it discharged, striking his mom, Quiana Mann, in the head and she died from her injuries.

According to the criminal complaint, when the boy was first interviewed he said he was twirling the gun around his finger and it “accidentally went off.”

After killing his mom, the boy woke up his sister who then found their mother dead and called 911.

Due to his age, the boy was allowed to remain with his family.

However, the following day, the family contacted the Milwaukee Police Department with “serious concerns.”

The complaint says the boy’s 26-year-old sister told detectives he has had “rage issues” all of his life and “five different imaginary people that talk to him.”

A therapist previously gave the boy a “concerning diagnosis” and the mother had placed cameras inside the home to watch him, according to the complaint.
