"Ex-College Football Player Accidentally Shoots and Kills Mother, Mistaking Her for Intruder"

Former college football player Jaylen Johnson, 25, mistakenly shot and killed his mother, 56-year-old Monica Johnson-McNichols, at their Missouri home, believing she was an intruder. He has been charged with voluntary manslaughter and armed criminal action, with bail set at $100,000. Johnson's attorney stated that he thought his mother was an intruder when she tried to enter their home, and he has been distraught since the incident. The former football player, who kept a gun for protection after being previously robbed at gunpoint, immediately called 911 after the shooting, but his mother was pronounced dead at the scene.
