A 12-year-old boy from Houston, Texas has been charged with murder after shooting his caretaker to death.

Reports say that 50-year-old Sharon D. Hawkins was found dead on her bedroom floor Saturday, July 25 around 4:40 p.m. Responding officers called in the emergency medical team who pronounced Hawkins dead at the scene.

Sharon was a mother of three and a grandmother to one. Her sons told us she never missed a day of work as a security guard, and always provided for them. They try to focus on the good. "I remember times when we were in the kitchen cooking -- Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years," recalled her son, Andre Hawkins. "She was the best mother." "I just feel she's in a better place," said Javoris Hawkins, another of Sharon's sons. "There's no more suffering for her. I really just miss her a lot." In addition to murder, the boy is also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Due to the boy's age, his name has not been released. As of this posting, there has been no motive for the murder mentioned.
