An Alabama teen allegedly killed his mother in a stabbing attack against his military parents as horrified neighbors watched the boy’s bloodied dad race around the neighborhood begging for help.
Samantha Baker, 37, and her 46-year-old husband, Lance Baker, were found suffering from multiple stab wounds outside their Belforest community home in Baldwin County, Alabama, at around 9 p.m. Sunday, according to WALA.
The couple, who had met while serving in the US Army Reserve, had attempted to flee their son’s deadly attack after the trio argued over the child being disciplined, the outlet reported.
The unidentified teenager, 17, allegedly stabbed his parents inside and outside of the home before barricading himself and calling police, the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office said.
Samantha Baker, a realtor, was pronounced dead as first responders flew her husband to a hospital in critical condition.
Lance Baker, a US Army Reserve Battalion Commander, escaped the home and ran door to door screaming for help, saying he “didn’t want to die,” traumatized neighbors said.
“That was probably the hardest part — was pulling up my camera and listening to it and listening to the father yelling for help… please help me… I don’t want to die,” Shawn Scurry told the outlet.
“And it just carried on down and it looks like he was trying to find an open door and I didn’t know where he was or where anybody was.”
The 26-year veteran was serving as Battalion Commander with the 1184th Deployment and Distribution Support Battalion in Mobile, Alabama.com reported.
The crime scene spanned roughly half a block in the private neighborhood 17 miles east of Mobile across the Mobile Bay.
Officials described the attack as an isolated domestic matter.
The teen, who will be tried as an adult, is facing charges for murder and attempted murder.
Police did not publicly identify the suspected parent killer, who was a rising high school senior, according to his parents’ social media pages.
He is being held in jail on a $1 million bond after his arraignment on Monday.
Friends remembered the slain mother for her bravery and caringness.
“She was so brave, so caring, so joyful. I’m going to miss her so very much,” co-worker and friend April Shepherd wrote on Facebook.
The family’s younger teen son was not at the home at the time of the attack, police said.
“It is really sad. It’s very sad for this family, having to deal with it,” Baldwin County Sheriff Capt. Justin Correa said, according to WALA.
