Mobile Police say teenager kills mom's abusive boyfriend



Authorities say that 12 years after his mother stabbed her abusive husband to death, her 18-year-old son shot her abusive boyfriend to death as he tried to break into their Crichton area apartment.



Mobile police say 38-year-old Samuel Parker was killed late Friday night after trying to break into the residence of Terry Giles and her son, Joseph.



Terry Giles says Parker was intent on killing her son because Parker believed that the teenage boy had set Parker's house on fire several weeks ago.



Police say Parker was armed with a knife when he tried to force his way in the front door of the apartment on Palm Street.



Authorities say Joseph Giles was NOT arrested in the shooting, though the case will be presented to a grand jury.
