A 35-year-old single mother came home from her evening criminal justice classes Wednesday about 7:15 p.m. and was startled to see a stranger wearing a hoodie inside her walk-in closet, according to statements she later told police and her family members. Panicked, the woman reportedly grabbed a knife from under her pillow, and stabbed the man several times.
The man died within the hour at a local hospital. The Orleans Parish coroner's office on Thursday identified him as Tyrone Scott, 17.
The family believes Scott hid in the closet at the house in the 3900 block of Gibson Street in Gentilly because he was secretly seeing the woman's underage daughter, who is 15, according to a family member.
The relative requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation; aside from the girl, none of the family members knew Scott, he said. The girl has been too distraught to give much information, he said.
"As far as we know, he was an extremely good kid," the relative said, "and it was just an unfortunate accident. We are hurting for their loss. Everybody's suffering."
The mother was taken to NOPD headquarters for questioning and was released. Homicide detectives are investigating the case to determine whether it will be deemed justifiable, NOPD spokesman Frank Robertson III said.
"It was a terrible incident and we regret that it happened," said George Blair, an attorney for the woman.
The woman's relative said she was hysterically crying Wednesday night and Thursday. "She is traumatized. She will never recover from this," he said. "We weren't raised to take people's lives. It was not intentional. She felt she had to defend herself and she did."
Efforts to reach Scott's family were not immediately successful. The woman's family said they would like to talk to Scott's family. "Our hearts really

(Did you have a shotgun to go with the backhoe lesson/teachin'?)
Hammer in the purse. Be good.
It's promised to my son-in-law since his last bratling was a girl and he'll need it eventually. He's got his own backhoes.

England. I should have specified. Birth statistics for the late 18th/early 19th century in England show the latest menarche and earliest menopause of any period studied.
Earlier puberty, on the other hand, is associated with later menopause. As a woman and mother of daughters, I find this all interesting irrespective of societal implications. It would be interesting if someone studied the future of young teen (girl) athletes, who often experience delayed puberty, to see how this affected the rest of their reproductive lives.
I’ve seen some old-looking 13-year-old girls, myself.
Two of my daughters are 13 and 15 (the others are 22 and 1), and they are both taller and heavier than I am. They don’t look older than their calendar ages, though.
Hammer in the purse? Would ruin my handbag and would be a bit heavy for a girl to carry around. :(
“Sneaking around to avoid detection when you have entered a girl’s house knowing her parent isn’t home is NOT dating.”
Well, it’s certainly part of dating for most teenagers in America. You may not like or approve of it, but that’s reality.
I had a similar experience when I was in high school. I was fooling around with a girl when her dad a ex NFL player came home unexpectedly! I managed to sneak out window but I was frriging worried!

I don’t. The noise of it clanking up against my .357 would keep me awake all night.
That’s why I drove exposed nails into the top of the fence on the side closest to Little Miss Lurkin’s bedroom. I figured I couldn’t keep the boys from jumping it, but they’d have to deal with holes in their hands or rips in their saggy trousers.
Not commenting on eegator's point (or lack thereof) but he does have all the communication skills of a graduate of the University of Florida.
NO NOLES!
“NO NOLES!”
There’s FSU.
Maybe you should go to FAMU.
Wow...what a racist thing to say. Again, typical Gator. Keep diggin'. With language skills and racial attitudes like yours, DU would love to have you as a poster!
