A 12-year-old boy has admitted to shooting and killing his mother after initially lying to detectives about what happened.
The 29- old woman who was identified as Ayobiyi Abeni cook was killed at their forestdale residence in Alabama, USA.
According to CBS NEWS, investigators determined that Cook’s 12-year-old son, who has not been named, unintentionally discharged a firearm, striking and killing his mom.
“The child originally fabricated a story that detectives determined was not possible,”. “The child eventually gave a true account of what happened.” The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Alabama said in a statement.
Cook’s husband, Djuan Cook, in a Facebook post, said she was known as “Yo” or “YoYo.” He added that funeral arrangements would be held on August 12. “Orange was Yo’s favorite color so feel to wear it as we celebrate her life,” he wrote.
