A 13-year-old boy from Georgia is accused of killing his mother, a Navy veteran, and then calling 911 after she was fatally shot in her home last week, People reported.

The victim, 37-year-old Dominique Bowers, was found dead by authorities in her Warner Robins, Georgia, home around 1:30 p.m. last Friday.

“Dominique Bowers, (37 yoa) of Warner Robins, is identified as the victim of homicide that occurred yesterday on Adirondac Way. Ms. Bowers is the mother of the 13-year-old juvenile that was taken in to custody,” a Warner Robins Police Department statement read.
