Mother Killed by Son in Front of Family: Community in Shock and Family Reeling with Grief
According to the authorities, a mother was fatally shot four times in the head by her own son, who then killed her in front of her husband and younger son. According to authorities, Tatanisha Jackson was walking inside the family house in South Shore, Chicago on Saturday afternoon when her younger brother and dad were shot and killed by 17-year-old Davion Pryer.
The investigation revealed that Davion, who had just retrieved his younger brother from his dad’s car, had contacted his mother ten minutes earlier, asserting that they were the targets of intoxicated individuals on their rear porch. Shots rang out at point-blank range as Jackson ajar her front door.
Davion was apprehended by law enforcement in the 7000 block of South Cottage Grove before to 10 p.m. on the same day. As an adult, he will face charges of first-degree murder in his trial.
Both the community and the courtroom were shaken by the crime. Judge David Kelly, who referred to the act as a tragedy, took a few moments to collect himself as he presided over the proceedings, clearly struggling to conceal his emotions.
“This is very sad and tragic to this court…” “Kelly said,” she said. “The unprovoked shooting and killing of your mother in front of your father and brother.”
Responding to her son’s call, Jackson unlocked the door to her home on Cornell Avenue in the South Shore area. On the opposite side, Pryor pried open the door and, at point-blank range, shot her four times in the head, creating a terrible commotion.
The parents had just picked up Pryor’s 7-year-old brother and father from school when the mother was shot; they were centimeters away. As the father heard additional gunshots, detectives say he quickly gathered up the child and dialed 911.
Many people in the neighborhood took notice of the uproar, including a man who had been at his job when he heard over a dozen gunshots. “So it was calm, and then suddenly gunfire erupted,” stated Ronald Jackson. There must be eight gunshots. ‘No, that wasn’t no gunshots.’ I thought after the first eight bullets. After that, six more followed.
According to Jackson, he saw images of the murdered mother circulating online. “She’s been in my presence a few times. My deepest condolences. Death in this city is sad, that much is true. “It just happens every day, every year,” he claimed. “So I feel sorry for their family.”

When the police finally came, they discovered Jackson’s body covered in gunshot wounds all around. They went on to say that twelve spent shells and a gun were discovered there. My mother passed away after being sent to the University of Chicago Medical Center.
After Jackson passed away, her husband, two boys, and an older stepdaughter were all left behind. Pryor will remain in detention per Judge Kelly’s ruling, who stated that the attack was unwarranted and without justification. On Friday, September 28, the juvenile suspect is scheduled to make his court appearance.
Authorities claim that Pryor is currently facing charges in juvenile court for two offenses: vehicular hijacking and aggravated violence. He had an October 3 court appearance scheduled and was under house confinement when the shooting occurred.
