A Forestville teenager pleaded guilty Tuesday to fatally stabbing a 92-year-old neighbor who had acted like a grandmother to him and then making off with her credit card and cash last summer, authorities said.
William Fitts, 16, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and theft in the killing in August of Thelma Steele, authorities said.
Prosecutors said that Fitts stabbed Steele several times with a pocketknife after the two argued about family issues and that he then left her for dead on the couch in her home. Her body was not discovered for several days, after Fitts’s family became concerned that mail was piling up at their elderly neighbor’s house.
The crime shocked the neighborhood near Forestville and District Heights where Fitts and Steele lived. Family members on both sides said the two were close. Steele, they said, watched Fitts grow up from the window of her home on East Avenue and often bought him toys and gadgets for Christmas and his birthday.
For his part, Fitts would often stop by Steele’s house with fruit baskets, cookies and tea, family members said.
But one day in August, prosecutors said, Fitts stabbed Steele several times with a pocketknife. He told detectives that the two had argued about family issues and that he returned sometime later to take Steele’s purse, cash and credit card.

nobama sure has a lot of sons.
If she looks like obamas mother, he’s in a pickle.
No shame, all for this (looks like son of Obama)sweet looking angel, His way of thinking and acting is pure evil.
This is sad - nothing that a civilized person would consider worth killing for.
If that poor old lady had a gun and killed the little Trayvon wannabe... Jessie, Al, and Obama would be marching in the streets!
I’m surprised the Washington Post covered this - doesn’t fit their brain-dead, knee-jerk narrative...
This is the result of budget cuts to libraries. /sarc.
So many parallels there.
Like Obama, he had no problem taking gifts and support from her, then turned his back on her and let her die without so much as letting her death interfere with his ‘busy’ schedule.
How many people would ignore the funeral of the person who raised them, so they could continue on the ‘Campaign trail’? I submit that most people would take time off from the campaign trail to attend a family member’s death. But, again, look how well Obama takes care of his illegal alien Aunt and Uncle, and his poverty-stricken brother.
Yes, if Obama had a son; this man would fit the bill in every physical and moral trait that counts.
No news here the dead woman was most likely a racist.
“For his part, Fitts would often stop by Steele’s house with fruit baskets, cookies and tea, family members said.”
...”FOR HIS PART”?! Already building his defense I see. Sawed off little SOB!
Oh my. Is that.....the President’s son? It looks just like him.
He’s another victim of the lack of funding for midnight basketball.
The early criminology foundations were formed on the basis of reality, and all the evidence indicated that criminals are BORN THAT WAY.
Nothing to do with race BTW. Obviously, some of the worst monster are of European descent.
The only way we have civilization is that our ancestors KILLED such non-humans as soon as they identified them...
In the US, we encourage them to reproduce ad infinitum.
What, no hoodie?
It a black on white crime....shhhhhhhhh!
“For his part, Fitts would often stop by Steele’s house with fruit baskets, cookies and tea, family members said.”
Geez, they overlooked the knife he brought her.
whites and old people exist to be preyed on?
Jesse Jackson - "It's open season on black people!"
Al Sharpton - "White interloper!"
