A 16-year-old boy has been arrested for
shooting his mother dead in their Bronx apartment on Wednesday and tossing her
body on the street like a piece of trash afterwards, the New York Daily News
reports.
He was charged with murder, manslaughter
and gun possession charges.
Darwin
Jackson was taken into New York Police Department
custody after he identified his mother’s body and spitting on the ground,
according to witnesses at the crime scene. “He said, ‘Oh my God, that’s my
mom,’ and he spit and walked away,” neighbor Sonia Carrion told the Daily News.
“He actually spit.”
Jackson was calm at the sight of his dead
mother while his 7-year-old sister, Ashley, was “hysterical,” according to
witnesses at the scene. The teen reportedly shot his mother, Tihesha Savage, 34, during an argument
over his late nights out of the house, according to a report by the New York Post.
He then allegedly folded his mother’s
body into a bin and dragged it down several flights of stairs from their
fourth-floor apartment. A trail of blood was reportedly found from the
apartment to the dumpster where the body was eventually found.
The Daily News has more details on this
story:
A
building super spotted the tan rectangular bin near some bushes on Macombs Road
about 9:10 a.m. Wednesday. When the super took off the lid, he found a horror.
Inside was Savage’s crumpled body, with what appeared to be a gunshot wound on
her head.
Savage
was swaddled in a fleece Scooby-Doo blanket, and more soiled blankets were
found in a nearby courtyard, witnesses said. Police were summoned.
Amid
the commotion, Jackson came downstairs and walked over. “Ewww! Oh my God!” he
said, according to Carrion.
“Everybody
saw him spit when he saw the body,” she added.
Neighbors
said that Jackson seemed calm while his younger sister was hysterical.
“I
asked him what went on,” neighbor Kevin McCorkle, 29, said. “He said he doesn’t
know. He wasn’t crying. He was just mad. The little girl kept asking me, ‘Where
is my mommy?’”
The
teen was taken to the 44th Precinct stationhouse in a patrol car, where he was
questioned until he confessed, police sources said. A building security camera
captured Jackson dragging the container across Macombs Road and leaving it
there, the sources said.
Several neighbor’s told The Post that Savage was a good
mother who was raising a troubled son. “I’d go past the apartment and hear them
arguing back and forth, sometimes for staying out after his curfew, hanging out
with the wrong crowd,” said Ralph Tejada.
Sonia Carrion, who walked Ashley to school each day, said
Savage “was always looking for her son. He is always in the streets giving her
a hard time.”
Police were called to the mother’s apartment in July of 2011
after an argument between she and her son got out of control.
Ironically, the mother’s caring ways were reported by the
Daily News back in 2002 when the paper did a report on a bus incident. Savage
was quoted as saying that she preferred walking her son, then just 6-years-old,
to and from school because there was no monitor on his yellow bus.
Deut 21:18- If a man have a stubborn
and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice
of his mother, and [that], when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto
them:
Det 21:19- Then shall his father and his mother lay hold
on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his
place;
Deut 21:20- And they shall say unto the elders of his city,
This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is]
a glutton, and a drunkard.
Deut 21:21- And all the men of his city shall stone him
with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all
Israel shall hear, and fear.
