Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The young son of Quiana M. Mann, 44, has been charged as an adult after he confessed to his relatives of intentionally shooting his mother in the face resulting in murder on November 21 at the 7400 block of N. 87 Street. 10-year-old Noah was charged with one felony count of 1st-degree reckless homicide and his bail was set at $50,000. He is currently being held at the Milwaukee County Secure Juvenile Center pending the outcome of the homicide case.
If convicted, Noah is facing up to 60 years in prison and would be detained at a juvenile secure facility until he gets older and then transferred to adult prison.
According to the criminal complaint, Noah after fatally shooting his mother in the face, he went to his 26-year-old sister who was sleeping un another room and told her Mann was shot in the basement of the home. Mann's daughter went to the basement and found her mother suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Noah's sister told police that her young brother suffers from anger and rage issues including from multiple imaginary people that speak to him, which includes two sisters, a man and another man who he described "as mean."
Shortly after the shooting, Noah confessed to his aunt that he fatally shot his mother after grabbing her keys and getting a loaded hand gun from a locked gun box.
Police initially believed Mann was shot accidently by Noah and was allowed to stay with family members after the shooting, until family members notified police that Noah had confessed of intentionally shooting his mother.
Police say in the complaint that Noah admitted, he knew that shooting his mother was wrong.
The criminal wasn't clear, if one of the imaginary people that Noah hears in his own mind influence the deadly shooting.
The criminal complaint says that Noah became upset when his mother woke him up early on November 21 and she refused to order a Oculus Virtual Reality Headset (VR headset) for him from Amazon.
After Noah's arrest, he began to ask police investigators and family members, if his VR headset had been delivered to his home.
