A 14-year-old boy called Havoc has been charged as an adult with first-degree murder after prosecutors say he shot his mother in the back of the head during a heated argument inside their rural Wyoming home.
Havoc Leone is accused of retrieving a handgun he had secretly taken from his mother's car days earlier
His mother, massage therapist Theresa McIntosh, was airlifted to a hospital in Colorado, where she later died from her injuries.
According to a sworn affidavit written by Laramie County Sheriff's Office Deputy Miles DePrimo, the teenager initially told investigators that McIntosh had killed herself.
But during questioning, prosecutors say he eventually described shooting her after an escalating dispute during which she called him the r-word.
DePrimo wrote in the probable cause affidavit that Leone told investigators he had been angry at his mother and struggled to express how much he hated her.
'He was angry right before he shot McIntosh and couldn't tell her how much he hated her because she doesn't understand him,' DePrimo wrote of the teen's statements.
'He was mad McIntosh was calling him names'.
The deputy also wrote that Leone admitted he had previously imagined murdering his mother during arguments.
'Leone has thought about killing McIntosh in the past, specifically when she would make him do things he didn't want to do,' DePrimo wrote in the affidavit.
Investigators said the confrontation that ended in violence began about an hour and a half before the shooting.
According to the affidavit, Leone had taken an electronic tablet from a home where his mother worked cleaning houses.
McIntosh and her common-law husband, who is also Leone's father, confronted him about the device.
During the argument, prosecutors say McIntosh accused the teen of stealing and called him names, including the 'r-word'.

I identify as retarded and it seems to offend people but I don’t off them. Lol
If my mom had called me a “rutabaga”, I’d have been angry enough to go look it up in a dictionary!
Cry havoc and let slip the retards of war.
If the kid was named Havoc, should be be surprised that havoc is what he produces?
interestingly it said in the article he questioned his mother’s assessment and wondered if yes, he is a retard?
“Hello! My name is Havoc. How do you do!”
On the other hand, she could have named him Mayhem.
“...the teenager initially told investigators that McIntosh had killed herself.”
In the back of the head? She must have been a contortionist and sneaked up on herself.

Rerigger
Could it be “R” for retard?
(I got booted from Twitter for advising Brit Hume not to go “full retard” like his shower mate, George Will... and the SOB reported me)
Why didn’t I listen to you. I looked. OMW!
Looks like something that would name her child Havoc.
Agreed. It didn’t deserve the death penalty, but from the photos there’s no doubt that she was loopy as hell which I would think contributed to the problem with this kid’s brain
Seems to me she crazied herself straight out of the marriage market.
Values before morals = run fast and don’t look back
Retard.
That’s gotta be it.
Crazy they can’t even print that but four letter words are everywhere and just fine.
My guess is “retard”.
HA!!

🎶I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole .
I don’t know if the kid was retarded or not, but the picture is evidence that the mother was mentally ill.
However, that’s not a reason to kill her.
Robert, Richard or Ronald ?
Call him by the stupid name on his birth certificate !
