A 15-year-old Mississippi girl has been charged with murdering her mom -- and the events leading up to the fatal shooting were caught on camera -- as well as the victim's chilling screams mixed with gunfire.
Check out the footage ... which begins with Carly Gregg in a Nirvana shirt lurking around her house. At one point, Gregg peeked her head into the kitchen while holding something behind her back, later revealed to be a .357 Magnum handgun.
She then strolled out of frame into another part of the residence before several gunshots could be heard along with her mom, Ashley Smylie, yelling in pain.
Gregg calmly walked back into the kitchen area with Smylie's cell phone, texting her stepfather, Heath, to lure him to the home.
When Heath arrived there, Gregg allegedly shot him in the shoulder as the two grappled over the gun. Heath managed to wrest the firearm away from Gregg, who fled the scene, but was soon arrested and charged with Smylie's murder and other serious crimes.
The shocking video from the March 19 shootings was played Tuesday in a Rankin County courtroom during Gregg's murder trial, which has received national attention. Prosecutors initially offered Gregg a plea deal, but she turned it down and her attorneys are now pursuing an insanity defense.
Six posts noting that “Gregg” is her last name.
I think I’m convinced now.

Gregg is her surname. Reading comprehension seems to be a lost skill.
That’s right.
And you are correct.
You seem terribly disappointed that the murder is clearly audible, while the depraved act was out of camera range in the video.
You might wanna read my post again, your not even close.....I heard it on court tv a couple of days ago and that was one time too many.
My point was TMZ is trash media that will obviously do lowlife things just for clicks.....even if death is involved.
Well, Carly is a girl...at least for now. If she did want to ‘transition’ and the crime took place here in California, the taxpayers would pay for her mutilation etc in prison.
Carly Gregg, female.
It sounds like she went off her psych meds and switched to Weed. Not uncommon these days.
My wife has followed the detail of this trial and I have peripherally seen enough to give some opinions.
She was on one psycho-tropic drug and switched to another that has all sorts of warnings about use for those under 28 yielding terrible reactions. I had a relation commit suicide on it at mid 20s. There is written documentation about hearing and having difficulty with constant voices telling her to do things. She was not violent in any manner previously although she complied with a friend’s request to bring her Swiss Army knife to school to show her and was put in alternate school for a semester.
Her step dad appears convinced it was not in her nature or intent to shoot his mother and him. He talks with her almost every day in a supportive manner.
I wouldn’t give her a major sentence of 40 years to life. I feel it is over charged and she should be placed in mental illness prison and re-evaluated at 18.
By that point in our history the FBI already forget that a profile is just an indicator and is not actual evidence of wrongdoing.
FIRST NAME CARLY LAST NAME GREGG
SHOW US WHERE THAT MENTAL ILLNESS FACILITY IS.
I’ve always heard it’s practically a law around here to comment before reading the article.
I stand corrected by some 15 people. Dont you all have something better to say? :-)
Carly’s concurrent illicit drug use and that she did not taper off her earlier med as prescribed should not be discounted.
