NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 28-year-old man was fatally shot in the head by his mother during a feud in their Brooklyn home, police said Tuesday.
Christopher Jenkins was found by cops sitting outside his apartment building on Pacific Street near Utica Avenue in Crown Heights around 9:50 p.m. on Oct. 12 with a gunshot wound to the side of his head.
"I got shot," Jenkins told police, the Daily News reported. "My mother shot me."
He was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County, according to the police, where he was listed in critical condition before dying on Oct. 24.
His mother, Vanessa Jenkins, 44, was charged with attempted murder, weapon possession and criminal use of a firearm, police said.
The Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said charges are likely to be upgraded, but Jenkins has to appear before a grand jury for that to happen, and it's not expected Tuesday.
Vanessa Jenkins has been arrested five times, sources told the outlet, but all of the cases are sealed. Although several of them include assault, it wasn't immediately clear whether any of them involve her son.
