According to sources, Skydajah Patterson made a chilling call to emergency services, claiming that she had just killed her own mother. It's a tragic story of a heated altercation that turned deadly between a mother and daughter in their apartment.
Patterson, who is 26 years old, apparently struck her mother, Selma Mclean, 46, during an argument inside their home at the President Adams Houses complex in the Bronx. The incident occurred at 3:40 am on Monday, as reported by police sources to the New York Post. The sources also revealed that Patterson confessed to the emergency operator, saying, "I just killed my mom."
When authorities arrived at the scene, they found Mclean unconscious and unresponsive with visible signs of trauma on her head and face. Patterson was still present, holding a cooking pot filled with blood, according to reports. She admitted to using the pot as a weapon, striking her mother on the back of her head, causing her to fall unconscious. There were no other witnesses to the tragic event.
Mclean was immediately rushed to Lincoln Hospital but was unfortunately pronounced dead, as reported by NBC New York. Patterson was taken into custody, but charges were not immediately pressed against her.
Sources revealed that Mclean had previously called the police twice, claiming that she was being attacked by her daughter. The family also mentioned that Patterson had been released from a mental health facility in February. Her goddaughter, Danaeyah Reynolds, 26, shared that Mclean had been afraid of Patterson the night of the incident, as she started hearing voices and speaking in a man's voice.
Reynolds, who is also Mclean's goddaughter, arrived at the apartment and noticed blood on the couch. She told the Post, "When I got here, I looked in and could see blood on the couch. They say it was too late to resuscitate her. I opened the door and just saw blood."
The apartment is located in a New York City Housing Authority complex, and Mclean had three daughters, two of whom lived with her, including Patterson. The tragic death of Mclean comes a few months after an 85-year-old man allegedly stabbed his 81-year-old wife to death in their Washington, DC, home after refusing to eat pancakes that she had cooked. It's a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of mental health and seeking help when needed.
