An Ohio teen was charged with murder for allegedly gunning down his stepfather for punching his mom in the face.
Levonte Hyde, 30, and the boy’s mother were reportedly driving to a store on Thursday when they started arguing.
Hyde allegedly punched the woman, with whom he shared two children, in the face with a closed fist.
About 30 minutes later, the 15-year-old suspect fatally shot Hyde in retaliation for abusing his mom.
“He had time to find a firearm, open a safe, retrieve that firearm and waited, for the victim to arrive, and ultimately ended up firing 12 shots when the victim did succumb to his injuries,” said assistant prosecutor Tatyana Reintje.
The suspect was apprehended on the same day and charged with murder. He remains in juvenile detention.
