Like a lot of 16-year-old boys, Kevon Watkins loved to play computer games. He was also prone to what could have been seen as typical teenage sulks – and when his mum Latoya picked him up from Westside High School, Georgia, one afternoon, she could sense he was in one of his bad moods.
At their home in Macon, Watkins went straight to his bedroom and became engrossed in his gaming. Latoya was feeling under the weather so she went to her room. Her 13-year-old son was also home, as well as Watkins’ older sister Alexus, 20.
When they were at school together, Watkins and Alexus got on well. After she graduated, he missed her and Watkins would later say his sister had “taught him everything he knew”.
But Alexus was now engaged to the father of her three-year-old son. The siblings were on different paths and fought like many brothers and sisters.
It was 2 February 2018 and Watkins was frustrated by the slow speed of the internet connection and concluded it was because too many of his family were using the Wi-Fi.
He changed the password so no one else could get on it. Of course, it wasn’t long before they noticed. Watkins’ little brother came to tell his mum what had happened.
Exasperated, Latoya went and unplugged the Wi-Fi router and brought it into her bedroom. Watkins stormed in to confront her.
Hearing the commotion, Alexus came to defend her mum from Watkins’ outburst.
Soon the row was out of control. The pair tussled on the bed then Watkins pulled his sister to the ground, and they started to wrestle.
