Police are treating the death of Marie Smothers as homicide after the child shot the 90-year-old with her own gun in a mobile home park near Slaughter, Los Angeles. She was shot from behind while watching television last Thursday. Investigators found a woman with a gunshot wound to the head. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Smothers was the child's guardian at the time of the shooting. "By accounts of relatives of the victim, as well as friends of the family, the victim and the juvenile had a normal, loving, relationship," said a statement issued by the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office. While the boy told authorities the shooting was unintentional and that he was playing around with her firearm, police have found reason to believe the shooting was no accident. "Although a motive for the shooting is unknown at this time, investigators have learned that the juvenile suspect was playing a video game on the Play Station III "Grand Theft Auto IV", a realistic game that has been associated with encouraging violence and awards points to players for killing people, just minutes before the homicide occurred," the statement read. Results of an autopsy have not yet been released. The child will not be charged and has been released to his parents. The boy's name will also not be released. Louisiana Law prohibits the prosecution of children aged ten years and under. It reads: "Those who have not reached the age of 10 years are exempt from criminal responsibility. However, nothing in this article shall affect the jurisdiction of juvenile courts as established by the constitution and statutes of this state." The investigation continues. |
