A cold-blooded Bronx teen admitted he shot his mother while she slept – then beat her with bat as she tried to rise, according to court records.
Dee “Darwin” Jackson, 16, made the chilling admission to a police detective on Wednesday, just hours after the remains of his mom, Tihesha Savage, 34, were discovered in a dumpster across the street from the family’s home.
The reason: Arguments over his late night outs, sources said. According to a criminal complaint, Jackson said his mother was asleep when he shot her in the head.
“After I fired, I saw her body twitch, she tried to get up and then I started hitting her in the head with a wooden bat numerous times,” the complaint reads.
His 7-year-old sister, Ashley, was home at the time but did not witness the murder.
Jackson was arraigned in Bronx Supreme Court today and charged with second degree murder, manslaughter, and possession of a weapon. He was held without bail.
