A 23-year-old Hoover man charged Monday in the weekend shotgun shooting death of his mother is no stranger to law enforcement officers.
Devarta Dedre Thomas, an aspiring rapper, had been arrested on crimes ranging from burglary to robbery, and just months ago stirred the ire of cops throughout the Birmingham area when he posted graphic photos on social media over the summer, mocking a Birmingham police detective after he had been pistol-whipped.
In fact, investigators say, his mother, Tawanda Denise Thomas, was killed Sunday afternoon while scolding him about his lifestyle and choices and actions. "Mrs. Thomas actually came to her son's apartment to lecture him about 'doing right,'' said Hoover police Capt. Gregg Rector. "She wanted him to get a job, stop using drugs and stop hanging out with some of the individuals he was hanging out with."
"Basically," Rector said, "a mom lost her life while trying to convince her son to live a better, more productive life."
Hoover police were dispatched to Alpine Village Apartments on Lorna Road just before 3 p.m. Sunday after they received a hang-up 911 call. When they arrived at the apartment, they found the 40-year-old mother inside suffering from a gunshot wound.
Tawanda Thomas was taken to UAB Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 3:45 p.m. Rector said Devarta Thomas was taken into custody for questioning. Investigators learned that a family argument escalated, and the woman was shot.

Agreed. In cases like this, they should just skip from the customary mugshot, to the GUNSHOT (to the back of the head).
The left needs a better class of heroes.

I believe in a fair trail. That shouldn’t take longer than 48 hours in cases like this. Then GUNSHOT to the back of the head.
“Aspiring rapper” is just left speak for “doesn’t want to work for a living”
Sounds cosy!
...aren't they all!

Or another way of saying “criminal.”
“Basically,” Rector said, “a mom lost her life while trying to convince her son to live a better, more productive life.”

I’m going to guess he didn’t have a father beyond sperm donor.
The only winner in this is Big Government, which most likely played the financial role of father, and now it will get to spend millions putting him through the justice and penal systems.
He is 23 and his mother was 40. My guess is that you’re right about the father not being in his life. This culture is not fitting for a civilized society.
Thug lives don’t matter.

Maybe he can do something useful and dig his own grave before society spends the money for a bullet to the back of his head?
Murder is a great career move for an aspiring rapper. He'll fit right in.

Guess he didn’t get the Black Lives Matter memo?.
I wish the black crime wasn’t the case but it is. They make up about 13% of the population but lead by a wide margin in such immorally violent crimes. People can ignore the obvious but they’re only in denial.
It doesn’t seem to matter how much money taxpayers throw at the problem it just seems to get worse. The problem is clear to me. They need Jesus in their lives. It just wouldn’t be this way if Jesus was in their lives. The government doesn’t really want that either because they prefer to be controlling them.
“Bring the quilty SOB in here so we can give him a fair trial before we hang him.”
She laid down her life trying to help her son amend his wicked life. I'm reminded of this which gives me, no pleasure albeit, hope for her. Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
