Woman Charged With Beating 87-Year-Old Mother To Death While Sitting In Wheelchair
After arguing about money in the days prior, 68-year-old Shearly Gaines killed her mother, 87-year-old Mae Brown, as she sat in a wheelchair at her apartment on the 9th floor of the Lincoln Perry Apartments, prosecutors alleged Friday.
Mae Brown was killed days after arguing with her daughter over disability checks, prosecutors said.
The daughter, 68-year-old Shearly Gaines, later returned to Brown’s apartment and killed her as the mother sat in a wheelchair, prosecutors alleged Friday.
At a hearing on first-degree murder charges, Gaines used a walker to gingerly approach a computer to attend the live-streamed proceedings at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse and identified herself in a quiet voice.
Her mother’s body was discovered on Oct. 15 in her one-bedroom apartment on the 9th floor of the Lincoln Perry Apartments.
