US Based Nigerian Mum shot Dead Accidentally By Her 12-Year-Old Son.
A 12-year-old boy has confessed to accidentally shooting his mother, a Nigerian woman, Ayobiyi Cook.
The 29-year-old registered nurse, Yo-yo’ as she was called by her friends was found dead in the family’s Forestdale, Alabama home, on the 2400 block of Freemont Avenue.
The incident happened after midnight on August 6.
Following investigation, the boy denied shooting his mum. He said that an intruder entered the house, shot his mum and left.
“The child originally fabricated a story that detectives determined was not possible,” Deputy Chief David Agee.
After investigation, Sheriff’s Detectives were able to determine that the victim’s 12-year-old son unintentionally discharged a firearm striking his mother causing her death.
After more probing, the boy finally changed his story.BThe child eventually gave a true account of what happened.
Evidence on the scene supports that the shooting was unintentional and the offense will be addressed through the Family Court system. The family has been cooperative throughout the process and the child will remain with them.”
The funeral for the slain mom will be held on August 12 at the Faith Memorial Chapel in Bessmer, Alabama.
