My mother died unexpectedly when I was 7 . Neither I nor my 2 sisters ever truly recovered from this loss. I am now 74 and yet I still think of her every day.

My mother died from kidney disease, and I'd give anything just to hug her one more time. The world is sadly disjointed and nothing makes sense.

Imagine sitting in a prison cell for 40 years thinking how you killed your own mother. Sickening.

Imagine the day he was born in the hospital. She held him in her arms, loving him. Loved him enough to worry about him smoking. This worlds gone crazy. Sad 😔

This young man has destroyed his entire family. Despicable.

It amazes me the amount of siblings that think their parents assets belong to them. RIP ma’am

I was feeling a little low about my life and how things have been going for me, and then I read dozens and dozens and dozens of comments from people talking about how they lost their mother at a very young age. I can't imagine having grown up without my mom. She's very strict, but she has supported me through every single obstacle in my life. I turned 21 a month before I left for a 13 month deployment to Afghanistan, and after seeing people get maimed and killed in some of the worst ways, I have no shame admitting that I wanted my momma. The day I got home from my deployment, I went straight to the tattoo shop and got an old-school heart with mom written across it on my arm. Left the store, went to my parents' house, showed my mom the tattoo, and gave her a long hug. Sending love out there to everyone.

I lost my mom at 20 with 3 younger siblings, she got cancer when I was 16. I’ve never got over the loss.

I’m 41 years old, and when I’m at my parents house I walk down the street to have a cigarette. It’s called respecting your parents and their rules. This is absolutely tragic, senseless, evil, and selfish. I’m not buying his story one bit.

And now he'll spend the next 20(+) years not being allowed to smoke in his -room- cell... Gee Seth, that little brat tantrum didn't work out too well for you did it?

Losing a mother is more painful even in natural circumstances . I can't even comprehend how painful it must be losing one one the hands of a child they gave birth to . Am saddened by this 😢

Entitlement is rampant...we are now at the point of violence if someone doesn't comply with these little assholes. RIP to this mama. May her family find some peace.

I couldn't imagine killing my own mother. She didn't care if he smoked she just wanted him not to do it in the house. Such a senseless killing.

At first I thought she wanted him to quit smoking but just asking him not to smoke in the house anymore isn't like she did anything wrong. I bet his dad would kick the crap out of him. Unforgivable

Man this hurts my heart. This truly does. Yeah, I don't know what was going on in that house behind the scenes that no one knows about, but regardless to kill your mother....I'm speechless. A family forever torn apart, a daughter without a mother to fuss over her dress for prom, a older son without a mom to present her her grandchildren, a husband in an empty bed. Almighty God, heal our land and heal our hearts!

This Dirtbag Needs to be Brought to Justice. If He is Convicted of this Crime, He Should Receive the Most Maximum PENALTY. No Excuses, No Parole. 👀

Selfish little bastard. He'll get what he deserves in prison. Hats off to Sheriff Judd for keeping the community aware of major crimes in Polk County. Let it serve as warning to would be criminals. Condolences to the family.

I retired after 37 years as a metro officer, and this Police Officer is my favorite because he’s so stately & diplomatic while illustrating these stories.

So very sad. My sincerest condolences to the surviving members of the family. I hope they heal swiftly.

If rapists and child molesters are the target for abuse in prison, I wonder what special hell is in store for for someone who goes to prison for murdering their mom

This is so sad, I would do everything and anything to see my mom again. It infuriates me to know that these horrible things happen. 😭😭😭😭😭

To give birth to your child and that child harms you. Amongst the heartache & heartbreak, children don't get how hard we work to give birth, love and care for them. Condolences to the family

From the way he described the entry wound, it went straight through her heart killing her almost instantaneously to the point of being completely unresponsive. Hopefully because of that she was completely unaware of what her son just did to her. My heart aches for this family. ⚘

I was caught smoking at school and got suspended for it. Parents read me the riot act. I took responsibility for it. Part of growing up. I didn't kill them though..........SMH.

What a pure evil heartless human. Killing your own mother who carried you for 9 months in her stomach and raised you and you took her life because she told you to stop smoking!?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

That poor mom losing her life because her son wanted to smoke in his room. How heartless. My prayers for his family.

How terribly sad! Prayers for this family as they deal with an unimaginable loss.

Some kids these days have never had anyone tell them "No" and they become absolutely unhinged when it actually does happen.

I lost my mother a year ago this Mother’s Day. I couldn’t fathom being the reason she is gone. Make this Mother’s Day a good one you all. I bear a lot of guilt for my actions and words I’ve spoken over the years. I’ll never be able to truly apologize and it’s haunting. Make it right now. Much love from Ohio

It wasn't a negligent discharge. It was an angry, self-centered discharge of a firearm. Also known as intentional. And his actions after the intentional discharge show his self-centered nature. We live in evil times

Shot in the heart, the very heart that raised, loved and provided everything for her family.

*She should've kicked him out, as soon as he turned 18* This damn generation, be thinks they run shit. They're so disrespectful. My heart and prayers, goes out to this family. 🙏💔😪

Irony of this is, as the Mom died she still loved him more than anything! Soo very sad!

Sheriff Judd, thank you for your diligence & compassion.♥️

Many many blessings and prayers to the family and friends in this incident. I know if my boy accidentally shot me I would not want him to go to jail.

Sending Prayers to Family and Friends

These are the signs of the times. I don't have any children and never wanted any. I'm 53 both my parents are deceased. The idea that I could raise my voice or talk back to either parent was non existent no less thinking of and actually killing my parent. Sadly; it's a very different world than when I grew up. RIP mom.

This Sheriff is just way way way too busy. Heartbreaking.

This is horrific!! I hope this young man gets help in prison. And praying for family. RIP beautiful mom.

I love it every time he says "did you hear what I said?"

Man, this is incredibly sad. This kid(19 year old ADULT) acted like a spoiled, entitled brat because he wasn't allowed to do what he wanted under his parents roof. Basically ruined his life and those around him, in a split second. My mom passed away from health complications when I was 9 and I would love nothing more than to have her back, to tell me "You're making bad decisions".

I'm glad this sheriff tells these stories. Often we forget how real things are and how erratic people can be.

Praying for that family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

Upper class brat. Yes, I said it. A family has lost their beloved loved one. Mad because your momma doesn't want you smoking in the house your parents worked hard for? Dude, wait until you get to prison. My heart goes out to that family. That's a shame.

So disgusting taking the life of the woman who carried you for 9 months, gave birth too you and then raised you for YEARS. I hope she haunts him for the rest of his miserable life in prison. Fucking gross.

Truly heartbreaking!!! 6 days before Christmas my sweet friend was killed by her son Also. It’s hard to imagine your own child could do something so horrific. My prayers go out for the family.

Officer Judd always paints a picture of events with empathy, what a senseless tragedy, I can't imagine what the family is going through. This is a time for strength and faith

How selfish and entitled does a person have to be??! Clearly given an affluent lifestyle afforded by his parents and he manages to single-handedly ruin the family. Of all people, Your MOTHER??!?🤯🤯🤯

Such a tragedy for the husband and other children. I can't imagine coming to terms with knowing one of my siblings shot and killed our mother simply because they were told to stop smoking in the house. On a side note, I love this sheriff. He provides all the details of the crime when speaking to the media.

That’s so sad!! My heart breaks for that mom and family!!

Mighty God this bring tears to my eyes its so sad these kids bless to have thier parents alive I lost mom when was a teenager now I am grown woman I miss my mom so much may the peace of God comfort the family at this time it is so sad

I sincerely appreciate how Sheriff Judd utilizes each and every horrific event that happens in his county as a teaching opportunity.

I wish my county had a sheriff like this one.. So honest and compassionate!

This is absolutely HORRIFYING!!!! My heart goes out to the family! How traumatizing for everyone!💔 My SO SORRY for your loss😣😥

This is so heartbreaking, I know my mother in law died 11 years ago and there isnt a day that goes by that my husband wouldnt give to spend just one more day with her, give her one last hug and tell her how much he loved her one last time, and I feel the same way as do both of my kids because she was an absolutely wonderful mom, grandma and mother in law that loved with all her heart, even to her own detriment most of the time. The only solace I carry is that I was the last one that spoke to her and got to tell her that I loved her and her final words to me were "I love you my baby, and I'll see you tomorrow when I am done at the salon", that is how they knew something was wrong because she never showed up to work at the salon the next morning while her 1st client had been sitting there waiting. My FIL always got up way way earlier than she did and left for work while she was still asleep and he didnt even realize that she was laying there next to him dead and he has never forgiven himself for that. My mom was the one to call and tell me because my husband couldnt do it because he knew how close her and I were and he was destroyed by it, everyone was, even my mom because they had become very close friends over the years. It's not very common that when a couple marries, that the 2 families all become one huge family because most of the time in-laws dont really get along but we all did and we all loved each other.

All over being told something he didn’t want to hear.... Tragic. My Condolences to all of her loved ones and friends.

When your children become disrespectful it's time to send them on their way.

This sheriff is a highly effective communicator. The community is fortunate to receive this commitment to clarity and compassion. My heart goes to everyone who loves the victims.

My mom died of metastatic melanoma on 3/13/13 when she was 49 years old. I was 24. It has been 10 years and I have never recovered from the tremendous loss of the most important person in my world. Cherish your mom everyone and give her as many hugs as you can- I would give anything to hug mine ❤

I lost my mom unexpectedly at 19 y.o. I’m 53 and miss my mom ever day and feel cheated for the years I did not get to spend with her. He willingly gave his years away.

People done lost their damn minds out here! Who kills the person that gave you LIFE? Gates of hell are wide open in this sick society we live in👹

Plz stop calling 19 year olds “kids”. A 6 year old would know not to do that and kids much younger then that know right from wrong.

This so heart breaking. On Mother’s Day. How sad this is.

My deepest condolences to the family. What a horrific act. 😔 So heartbreaking 💔

So sad, seems people are losing their minds more than ever these days.

Good mothers are underappreciated. Such a bizarrely sad account.

Heart breaking 💔 😢

My mom passed away 11 yrs. ago I'm still thinking of her every day.Whoever still has mom,love her because she always protects you from day one.

The sheriff is clear, compassionate and no fool. Thank you for posting a reminder of how a mature, level headed public servant speaks.

Wow...

Sounds like this guy has poor impulse control. Got mad, and impulsively shot through the door in anger and probably was shocked he hit his mother. With a good lawyer and a suicide defense- I wouldn't be surprised if he got a lighter sentence, although he deserves a lot more.

So a 19 year old valued cigarettes over his mom enough to kill her. He's gonna be real popular when he gets to prison.

The fact that he didn't call 911 right away makes him a hundred percent guilty

this sucks i went to high school with him and i was buddy’s with him and had classes with him never would think he would end up like this. Prayers for the moms family.

Prayers to the family

Ya know..listening to this story, I'm convinced the parents have had ongoing problems with that kid. He was told before..I suspect that kid hated his mom because she set boundaries and as a 19 yr old, he didn't think he should have any. Trust me, there's been behavior problems for some time.

My heart goes out to everyone in the comments who speak about how hard life has been for them since losing their moms. Big hugs … May you all see your moms again one day. God bless your souls

That’s so sad I’m praying for the family RIH

The research put into these videos is very thorough.

My mom died when I was 13 years old I would do anything to bring her back this makes me sick

The victim here was 52 years old. She had a lot of living left in front of her but she never got to see her kids get married and she didn't get to see her grandchildren. I'm pretty sure that both of this entitled son's parents worked very hard for the family. I'm sure she supported her husband's job by shopping for groceries, doing the laundry including the work clothes, keeping the house clean, cooking meals for the family, taking the younger kids to doctor's appointments or all after school events and on and on. She might have had a job when she was younger or maybe she found time to volunteer but she devoted herself to the upkeep of the family. You could even say she sacrificed herself for her family. Out of concern, she tries to discipline one of her sons and this happens? The kids even had a gameroom and it sounds like although they were old enough to move out of the house, they didn't WANT to. It will probably be hard for this family to move on and stick together. I'm betting that she was the glue that held them together. Where did her son learn that it was ok to be mean and hateful to his mother? Well this upcoming Mother's Day is going to be a very sad day for that family.

So sad. My mother was brutally murdered, when I was a teen, by a family member, beaten beyond recognition and shot, so I understand what this family is going through. My prayers for the family and for this young man to get right with God.

Heartbreaking 💔

What a terrible son! I always thought I was a failure because I made so many bad choices and irreversible damages. But I love my mom who still loves me even as a messed up adult and still thinks I am important. I hope this teen’s mom is in heaven as I am sure she just wanted the best for her son.

I am so sorry to hear this story. My heart goes out to the family who has lost their mom… what a loss. A woman who put her family first and did everything for them. To have your own son take his moms life is unreal… I hope dad and the kids find peace. I can’t even imagine… Polk police are amazing humans

This dude is always reporting these crazy cases. Florida is nuts,yo.

I respect that Sheriff Judd tells a "story" about the victims and the crime. It makes it more real and poignant. RIP

Such an ungrateful teen he was. How could he murder his own mother after they helped raise him for 19 years and this is how he repays his parent.

God my heart aches for this family. I had to immediately text my mom and tell her how much I loved her. I’m so grateful to be able to receive her love. Thank you mom for being an amazing mother, I love you so much

Pure evil!

Condolences to this family and R.I.P mom😞this is terrible💔

My gosh, this story is very, very sad. How could a son kill his mother, it's totally reprehensible.

I've seen this poor police officer have to to give details for harrowing case after another for idk how many years now. I can't imagine the toll the stress takes on him. A real officer 👏

I love my mom so much :(. there's no win in this case, it's just overwhelming loss. An amazing mom and wife gone. And a brother and a son gone. I can't imagine it feels the same as if some random criminal who killed your mom was arrested. There's no relief or real closure I guess. I'm so sorry this happened to this family. :(

I cannot even listen to this. It must be insanely difficult to be a first responder. I could not even imagine.

literally had this exact conversation with my mom when i was also 19 a few months ago, and the thought of killing or even harming her never crossed my mind. this guy doesn't deserve freedom ever again, there is a special spot in hell just for him. praying for the friends and family this is terrible

When your child is grown and doing evil let them go!!! You don’t have to let them live with you in their disobedience

Umbelievable!

i hope they send this dude to a prison that has a no smoking policy

I remember when my mom told me to stop smoking, NEVER would it be in the house, i took my licks and learned to hide it better. This newer generation has no fathomable value of what human life is. Throw the book at him.
