Mississippi teen allegedly tried to kill her sleeping mother because she was a 'weird b---h'

GULFPORT, Miss. (TCN) -- A teenager stands accused of stabbing her sleeping mother before trying to ignite a fire inside their home last week.

On Friday, June 14, at approximately 2:33 a.m., the Gulfport Police Department responded to a report of a "cutting incident" at a residence, where they found a female victim with multiple stab wounds. The woman allegedly awoke to find 15-year-old Lexi Brown "attacking her with a knife." Brown had also reportedly tried to set a fire inside the house.

The victim, who WLOX-TV identified as Brown’s mother, was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Officers did not disclose the extent of her stab injuries.

According to police, Brown told detectives she wanted to kill her mother because she was a "weird b---h" and was "suppressing the black in her." Officers took Brown into custody and booked her into the Harrison County Adult Detention Center on charges of attempted murder and first-degree arson. A judge set her bond at $1.25 million.
