Their investigation revealed that 32-year-old Talecka Brown of Seat Pleasant allegedly used a gun inside the house to shoot her 13-year-old daughter, according to police. Authorities charged Brown with first-degree attempted murder, amongst other charges. Police said that, as of Tuesday morning, she is currently at the Department of Corrections awaiting to see a commissioner. Police also said Brown gave police several different stories about what happened, but she was ultimately charged. Dispatchers and officers could be heard on police scanners Monday night saying the mother had told them her daughter was shot on the way home from school. SPPD's acting chief issued a statement along with the announcement of Brown's arrest: I have to commend my officers for their rapid response and decisive actions at the scene. It is always tragic when we have acts of violence within our community, but it is heart wrenching when the perpetrator is supposed to be your protector. I am glad to hear that the victim is recovering at a local hospital, but the emotional trauma will remain for some time. The Seat Pleasant Police Department is committed to working with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Prince George’s County Police to ensure we hold Ms. Brown accountable for her actions. Acting Chief Cedric Heyward Brown is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday afternoon for a bond hearing, according to court documents.
