Quiana Mann Wiki – Quiana Mann Biography

An 11-year-old Wisconsin boy who allegedly shot his mother Quiana Mann in the face to death after she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset on Amazon has been found fit to stand trial as an adult. The boy, whose identity is not being made public, was reviewed by two psychologists before Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Jane Carroll made the decision to try him as an adult on Thursday. Notably, the Milwaukee Sentinel Journal reported that psychologists differed on whether the boy was truly competent or understood the nature of the crime or the charges against him.

Her defense attorney told Carroll that she did not believe the boy could help the defense. However, the judge deemed him prepared to stand trial as an adult, saying the boy, who was 10 at the time of the shooting in November, had not received a “significant mental diagnosis” and had demonstrated the ability to understand and learn what it was happening around him.

Fox News reported Thursday that Milwaukee County Attorney Sara Waldschmidt told the judge the boy “knew his case was in adult court, he knew his case was a felony, he knew there were two types of cases: felonies and misdemeanors and I knew it was serious.”

Prosecutors say the boy’s mother, Quiana Mann, was doing laundry at her Wisconsin home when her son confronted her with a gun she took from a safe at the residence that she accessed with a key. The boy initially told authorities that it was an accident and that he only intended to scare her mother and shoot the wall right behind her. However, Mann walked in front of the gun and was shot in the face by it.

How Quiana Mann died?

The shooting was originally ruled accidental, but according to ABC’s WISN12, when police questioned the boy a second time, he said it was not accidental. Instead, he told police that he was angry with his mother that day because she woke him up early. Police only questioned him a second time because Mann’s family members expressed concern to authorities that the boy had long-standing anger issues and frequently acted out. They also noted that he had been in therapy.

Just a day after Mann’s death, prosecutors say the boy bought the virtual reality headset on his mother’s Amazon account, told his grandmother, “I’m sorry I killed my mother,” and then asked if there was your package arrived. Mann was about to complete her MBA at Concordia University before she was killed. Her mother, Lueritha Mann, accepted a posthumous degree on behalf of her daughter in May.

The tragedy has shaken the family and caused deep pain. In December, during an interview with Milwaukee NBC’s WTMJ, Leuritha Mann said she had not yet spoken directly to her grandson. She hoped to do it one day, she wailed, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it. “He took something very precious from me,” she said. Mann’s sister, Rhonda Reid, told the station that when she spoke to the boy while she was in custody, she said she did not remember shooting her mother. Instead, she changed the topic of conversation to her devices.

Reid also emphasized that her niece had a long history of mental health problems. When her sister was killed, she said in the December interview, her nephew had already been receiving treatment for mood disorders. She also said that her nephew reported hearing multiple imaginary voices. Part of the solution her therapists prescribed was to spend less time with electronic devices. Reid said her sister was doing what the doctors recommended and limiting or eliminating her access to electronic devices or violent games.

The 11-year-old boy was charged this January with first-degree intentional homicide. He is scheduled to appear in court on September 5 for a preliminary hearing. In Wisconsin, children as young as 10 can be charged as adults with certain felonies, including first degree intentional homicide, first degree reckless homicide, and first degree attempted intentional homicide.Read More………
