Boy, 10, who’shot his mom’ begs judge to decrease $50k bond to $100

The 10-year-old accused of killing his mother because she refused to give him a $500 virtual reality headset has requested that his bond be reduced from $50,000 to $100.

According to prosecutors, Quiana Mann, 44, was shot in the face by her son, who then used her credit card to purchase an Oculus VR headset before apologizing to his grandmother and asking where his parcel was.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the boy’s attorney, Angela Cunningham, argued in court on Wednesday that his bond should be reduced to $100, the amount in his piggy bank.

Cunningham told the court, “We have spoken with him about his ability to send anything through the mail.” ‘He told us about piggy banks he had filled with birthday and holiday gifts. And rummaging through the couch cushions for the money he has managed to save.’

The judge dismissed the minor’s motion and set a travel restriction that will go into force if he is able to post bond.

Quiana Mann, 44, was allegedly shot and killed by her 10-year-old son because she refused to buy him a $500 virtual reality headset.

On Amazon, the price of an Oculus Virtual Reality Headset ranges from $130 to nearly $500. The day after the incident, he allegedly purchased a headset using his mother’s credit card and told his grandma he was’sorry for killing my mum’ without remorse.

The juvenile has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide and will be tried as an adult.

For major offenses, such as murder, children as young as 10 are charged as adults under Wisconsin law. If convicted, he faces up to 60 years in prison.

The fact that the 10-year-old would be tried as an adult has caused Carroll some headaches, as she said that the standard reasons for determining bail conditions ‘don’t make much sense when applied to a 10-year-old’

She noted that the youngster has no house of his own, no work, no real assets, no way to appear in court alone, and a criminal past.

Carroll also denied the prosecutors’ request that the youngster be put into the custody of a family member if he posts bail because he is being charged as an adult.

The judge agreed with the defense attorney, stating that such a requirement would not be necessary for an adult.

After shooting her at the depicted Milwaukee residence, he placed the weapon in the closet and informed his 26-year-old sister that their mother had passed away. According to state law, the kid will be tried as an adult and faces up to 60 years in jail if convicted.

Initially, the teen claimed that the gunshot was an accident. According to the charges acquired by the Journal Sentinel, he claimed Mann had walked in front of him while he was pointing at a wall in an attempt to’scare’ her, and he shot her accidently in the head.

However, he later stated in a second interview that he purposely targeted his mother before shooting her at their home on 87th Street near Hemlock on November 21 at approximately 7:00 a.m.

The boy is one of four children belonging to Mann: Brianna, TJ, Brandon, and Noah. Uncertain as to which boy shot her.

The complaint states that after the shooting, he placed the gun in the closet and informed his older sister Brianna Moore, 26, that his mother, who worked in behavioral health, had died. Then, Moore dialed 911.

The boy was permitted to stay with his family, and an early police statement stated that the shooting was the result of a child “playing” with a gun.

The next day, concerned family members called the police.

The unidentified child fatally shot his mother Quiana Mann, 44, of Milwaukee, (pictured), in the face inside their house near 87th Street and Hemlock at approximately 7:00 a.m. on November 21 after she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset.

The kid obtained a set of house keys that contained a key to the gun’s lockbox, according to the boy’s aunt. When his aunt inquired about the incident, the youngster stated that he aimed the gun at his mother and she told him to drop it.

The youngster never grieved or expressed remorse, according to the boy’s aunt and sister, and he also physically assaulted his seven-year-old cousin on the same day.

According to the boy’s relatives, he has ‘concerning’ mental health difficulties and has previously demonstrated worrisome conduct.

The youngster allegedly swung the family’s puppy around by its tail when he was four years old, according to the lawsuit. The youngster, according to his family, filled a balloon with flammable liquid and set it on fire six months ago, triggering an explosion that burnt furniture and the carpet.

When questioned why he did it, the youngster replied that his two sisters instructed him to.

The youngster reported to his family that he hears two sisters, an elderly woman, and two’mean’ men conversing with him.

Brianna also stated in the complaint that her brother has had “rage issues” throughout his entire life and that he “becomes really furious and acts out.”
