This rarely happens. A mom turned in her daughter for murder. Unbelievable, right?
It all went down when Kenyetta Hayes of Memphis, Tennessee, a young woman, got into some serious trouble. She allegedly robbed and killed a man over a measly $60. Yup, you heard right – just $60. And her mom wasn’t about to turn a blind eye to her daughter’s actions after she saw her in the news being accused of murder.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I can’t even imagine what was going through this mom’s mind when she decided to turn in her flesh and blood. It must have been such a tough choice to make. But hey, at the end of the day, crime is crime, right?
I mean, think about it – $60 isn’t worth taking someone’s life over. It’s such a senseless act of violence that it’s hard to wrap your head around. And to think that a mother had to grapple with the fact that her daughter was capable of such a heinous crime – that’s just heartbreaking.
But hey, kudos to this mom for doing the right thing and holding her daughter accountable for her actions. It takes a lot of courage and strength to make a tough call like that.
Kenyetta Hayes, 26, is charged with First-Degree Murder in Perpetration of a Robbery. Her bond has not been set.
Monday, officers responded to a shooting in the 2900 block of Filmore Avenue. They saw a man suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead on the scene.
The next day, a woman told police that her daughter, Hayes, was a person of interest and took her to the Homicide Office.
Hayes reportedly told Memphis Police that she was at the Marathon gas station on Lamar Avenue when a man offered to give her $60 in exchange for oral sex.
According to Hayes, she never planned on performing the act. Instead, she was going to “hit a lick,” which meant rob him.
Reports state that when they got to the park, Hayes allegedly shot the man and took the cash. She then left the scene on foot.
Hayes told police she was “thirsty for money.” She spent $47 on two hot wing combos for herself and her boyfriend after the shooting, according to police.
So there you have it, folks – a mom turned in her daughter for murder over $60. It’s a sad and shocking story, but it’s a reminder that justice must prevail, no matter who is involved.
