Police have arrested a black kid, Varian Alexander Hibbert, for allegedly stabbing his mum, Marcia Chance to death.
In the Thanksgiving Day incident, police found Chance, 42, lifeless in her apartment in Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Another relative inside the apartment dialled 911.
Hibbert, 18, was arrested in the apartment he shared with his mum.
Police charged him with felony murder, aggravated assault and possession of a knife during the commission of a felony.
The New York Post reported Friday that the suspect is being held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.
It remains unclear if he has hired an attorney, the report stated.
Hibbert has been arrested twice since August, both times for criminal property damage and willful obstruction of law enforcement officers by use of threats or violence.
Reacting to Hibbert’s latest arrest, a neighbour, Cameron Boyd said, “I was really shocked by that.
“I ain’t think [Hibbert] was really capable of doing something like that … It’s your mom and it’s on Thanksgiving, like that’s the crazier part.”
