Texas woman shoots dead 14-year-old boy after ‘he tried to break in through her window’ while her four younger daughters were home

A woman in Texas who shot dead a 14-year-old boy that tried to break into the home she shares with her four daughters has said the incident left her ‘devastated’.

Aleah Wallace saw Devin Baker attempting to open her eight-year-old girl’s bedroom window in Fort Worth on December 14 and fatally shot him. 

‘I’m devastated that he was 14. I hate that. I literally do. And I’m so sorry. But at that point, I had to think about my babies,’ she told Fox 4. 

Police have not filed any charges against her over the shooting but the case has been sent to a grand jury.

Wallace said she got the gun to protect her family after suffering multiple break-ins which began just a few weeks ago.

‘I was cleaning my living room sweeping my floor, and I heard my window start going back up,’ the mother said. 

‘So I went, and I stood in the hallway. And I could see him standing at the window, lifting it up. I just shot.’

Baker died at the scene of multiple gunshot wounds and Wallace added: ‘It’s bothering me that he was a kid.’

The case is going to a grand jury and she wants people to understand that she was just protecting her family. 

‘I have four daughters. It’s just me and my four daughters that stay there. I just was protecting my daughters,’ she said. 

‘I’m devastated that he was 14. I hate that. I literally do. And I’m so sorry. But at that point, I had to think about my babies. 

‘I didn’t know he was 14 when he was on the other side of that window. All I knew was that somebody could come in and hurt me or my kids. That’s it.’

Wallace said this was one of two attempted break-ins that night and it happened shortly after police left her duplex after responding to her first 911 call. 

‘I called them at 1.22 am. She talked for like 20 minutes. They did a report, took pictures of everything and then they left,’ Wallace said.

She claimed there had been four attempted burglaries before that day and they all happened when no one was home.

But Wallace received the news that she is now being evicted for being in possession of a gun. 

‘The apartments called and told me that I was not supposed to have a gun at all, even though I kept calling them and telling them somebody was breaking in,’ she said.

‘They told me I could not have a gun, and I have 30 days to vacate. I feel like I’m back at square one. I was there for six years, and now I don’t know what to do.’

Wallace lives in subsidized and there does not seem to be any law which prohibits residents from owning a gun. 

She is worried that the eviction will prevent her from finding other housing for her and her daughters. 

Family members of Baker revealed that he was an eighth-grade student at Rosemont Middle School.

He lived with his family on the same apartment complex as Wallace.
