Teen Charged with Mother's Murder | Minneapolis News

A shocking tragedy unfolds in the Twin Cities: a 17-year-old girl faces murder charges for allegedly killing her own mother inside their Maplewood apartment.

She told her boyfriend in a jail call she couldn’t handle it anymore. Prosecutors are seeking adult trial. This case exposes the depths of familial pain and the devastating consequences that can erupt from it.
