13-Year-Old Girl Who Stabbed Mother To Death, Cause She Took Her CellPhone Says She Feels “Disgusted With Herself”

A 13-year-old Pennsylvania girl allegedly confessed to killing her mother and stabbing her 11-year-old brother during an argument, telling officers, “I’m the reason my mom is dead.”

On Friday when officers received a call at 12:30 PM from a home on South Sherman Street in Wilkes-Barre,  Lataya Powell, 13, allegedly admitted to the violent rampage on her mother and brother.

“I killed my mom and she’ll never forgive me if she is alive,” she said, according to the criminal complaint.

Her mother, later identified as Tameeka S. Tucker, 44,  suffered apparent wounds to the back and head with blood seeping from her head.

Meanwhile, Lataya’s 11-year-old brother was found lying on a couch in the living room with stab wounds to his back. His injuries were not life-threatening.

Powell was taken into custody at the scene and charged as an adult with homicide, two counts of aggravated assault and tampering with evidence, Local 21 reported.

I don’t have my phone because my mom took it before our fight,” Powell reportedly told police.

Police found no knives or cutting instruments when they arrived, but noticed kitchen drawers and cabinets with padlocks, according to WBRE.

One appeared to have been broken and a padlock was lying on the floor, the outlet reported, citing an arrest affidavit.

When Powell was confronted by cops, she told them she threw the weapon on a neighbor’s doorstep, WBRE reported.

“I’m the reason my mom is dead,” she told police, according to the affidavit cited by the outlet.’

“I don’t know how people can do stuff like this and not feel bad about it,” she also reportedly said.

Footage posted by the news outlet shows the girl telling a reporter that she felt “regret, guilt and self-disgust” before she was placed in a patrol car.

A neighbor who found the knife on her front porch said she was working in her backyard at the time of the grisly crime.

With 3 days to the service the GoFundMe has only collected $165.

What I can tell you about this case is that Lataya obviously had behavioral issues in the past, and the mother suspected that she would try to kill them.  So instead of sending her off to foster care she kept her daughter in the home and instead padlocked all sharp knives and dangerous objects.
