A 15-year-old girl from Mississippi is being held in an adult detention facility for attempting to murder her mother.
The incident took place in the early hours of June 14 at a house on Dee Avenue in rural Gulfport, near a large wooded area.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Lexi Jade Brown attacked her mother while she was asleep … the crime is influenced by occult beliefs.
After fending off the assault, the mother said her daughter attempted to set the house on fire.
The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital, and her current condition has not been disclosed.
Officers responded to a call about a stabbing at 2:33 a.m. and found the victim, Brown’s mother, with multiple stab wounds.
POLICE REPORT
Police reported that Brown admitted to planning the attack for some time, referring to her mother as a ‘weird b**ch’ and claiming she had been ‘suppressing the black in her.’
The investigation continues, and Brown is being held at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center with a bond set at $1.25 million by District 5 Justice Court Judge Nick Patano.
Brown faces one count each of attempted murder and first-degree arson.
