MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An 11-year-old Minnesota boy who was shot five times was able to tell officers before he died that his mother’s boyfriend shot him and killed his mother and sister.
Twenty-six-year-old Tekeith Jones has been charged with three counts of second-degree intentional murder in the killings Saturday of 30-year-old D’Zondria Wallace, her 13-year-old daughter La’Porsha and her 11-year-old son Ja’Corbie.
According to the criminal charges filed Tuesday, Jones told police that he shot and killed the three to save them.
A SWAT team arrested Jones in St. Paul on Sunday. He is due in court later Tuesday.
