Dying mother screamed on 911 call ‘as son stabbed her to death’

During the call, dispatchers heard the woman's terrified screams in the background, police said.

A mother desperately screamed while on the phone with 911 dispatchers as her son stabbed her to death, police said.

The woman, who has not been identified, was found suffering from an apparent knife attack in her home in Chula Vista, California on Monday shortly after she made the call, telling dispatchers that she was ‘having problems’ with her son.

During the call, dispatchers heard the woman’s terrified screams in the background, police said.

Officers rushed to the home and found a man covered in blood, who they believe to be the victim’s son, who they have also not identified. Police said the man tried to flee from officers, but they were able to place him under arrest. While taking him into custody, the man reportedly struck one of the officers, although the officer was not seriously injured, according to KGTV.

Police said the victim was found inside the home with serious injuries. She was taken to a local hospital, but later died.

The suspect has since been booked into jail in Chula Vista and will reportedly be charged with the death of the woman believed to be his mother.
