- Aleah Wallace shot and killed a 14-year-old boy as he tried to break into her rental home. A Tarrant County grand jury no-billed Wallace, meaning jurors did not find enough evidence to charge her with a crime.

Age does not excuse criminal behavour.
Say it again for the people in the back.
Sure don’t!!!
He should have never tried to break in
That's aweful
Absolutely not
@@reneelong I agree
She is allowed to protect her
home and family. I’m sorry for the 14 year old but these kids have to stop going in to other people’s homes
That part
Right then he came back and I read this was the fifth someone was trying to break in her apartment
You are absolutely right.
She's lucky. She's black because if there would've been a white person that did this and it was just a magnute amount of BLM behavior about this, she would have been charged. And me.
Personally, I absolutely think those women should not be charged.But it needs to work both ways when white people have Protect there homes too.
💯% true, you mean you can't be safe & comfortable in your own home. It's hard but if she didn't kill him he might've kidnapped her daughter & she would be the one in pain.
I'm glad the mother is now legally cleared of any wrongdoing, and that her family was able to move away from that area.
Me too
How crazy is it that she was going to be evicted for having a firearm meanwhile that firearm is what saved her and her daughter's lives!
Well we dont know if he was gong to kill. Probably was just going to steal
Good thing she had protection 😌 Kids are safe!
@@addisonhinson6290it doesn't matter, lots of attempted robberies turn into murders. If someone breaks into my house im assuming he's there to kill me
good thing she didn't wager her life trying to figure that out @addisonhinson6290
Where is the NRA? I thought they fight for the 2nd amendment
They really didn’t have to mention she lived in section 8. It's irrelevant to the problem at hand.
Well, they were trying to evict her based on the policy of the govt. housing ...so yes it was relevant to report. It brought a lot of attention to a flawed policy.
Why?
@@LoriL010 but they can't legally do that. that's why they didn't end up evicting her. poor people are allowed to own weapons, too.
@@W.J.M. Well, they were about to if a lawyer hadn't agreed to challenge them, for free, and a state rep wasn't advocating for her.
They wanted the world to know that this woman is living on section 8… and that she was not paying full rent for her home…
What is concerning is that the 14 year old was trying to break into the 8year old window. To do what?! Thank goodness the mother was armed and protected her babies
He was coming for sexual assualt. The boldness of coming a second time for armed robbery. No one will say it but other ppl of color are comfortable doing what they desire to african americans.
Some of these immigrants see blk women alone and feel entitled to there urges. But the strap stopped that, thank God!!
I've experienced the males in construction staring between my legs. This is the last time we should see this lady on an interview. Where are the criminals parents?! No more interviews, low key placing the mother on trial.Release the leasing agent identity threatening eviction.
Multiple attempts
To rob he didn’t know it was a 8yr room
@dripdaddy9091 what?! Be quiet! He watched the home lowlife. Making excuses for a lowlife, always have an excuse for criminals. If you are a victim, give those same excuses for your predator.
@@dripdaddy9091 regardless lil boy it’s women and children in the house, that’s off limits.
They wasted tax dollars money and knowing good and well she shouldn’t have been charged!
I agree. However, to be “fair” they have to go through the same proceedings across the board.
If she was a white woman, she would've been cleared 30 minutes after the shooting.
Actually, like any case, she was labeled innocent until proven guilty. Jury decided she was innocent in the end.
@sallyj632 Actually, it is not like any case. It took 4 months for her to be made aware that she will not be indited for what is clearly self defense. The proceedings were lawful however, the time it took for those proceedings are unfair and unjust. If you don't see or understand that, you'll never.
@Livelifelove82 Honestly I didn't know about the 4 month wait. Thanks for letting me know.
The 14 yr old targeted them and for sure this isn’t the first apartment he broke into!
of course. Single 25 year old mother with 4 daughters…she was definitely taregeted. Thank god she moved.
🤦🏾♂️
It will be the last tho.
People are tired of the foolishness and living in fear.
It's a damn shame she almost lost everything for being a good mom
DA POLICE AIN'T HAD NO BIZNESS SENDIN SCHIDT 2DA GOTTDAM "D.A."!!! DIS IZZA GOTTDAM SHAME!!! DA POLICE ARE SUM ASSHOLEZ, 4EVEN PUTTIN HER FREEDOM IN JEOPARDY!!! FOH
She should still sue the landlord.
Hell yea wtf they talking about can't have a gun and do nothing about security
Section 8 - doesn't that mean that the landlord is the government?
@@silviaquesada2499 if that's the case then we'd is Texas thinking?
When you on section 8 or any other public assistance there's rules and regulations that you must follow
We have a right to defend ourselves! I'm sure she didn't take pleasure in killing him.
This kid chose his own fate *when he decided to climb through her window in the middle of the night.*
@@ianbattles7290Correction: he climbed through the 8 year olds window.
@@carrington2949 The idea he might have known it was a child's window makes it even worse for him... He certainly wasn't breaking in to do the dishes and make the beds...
@@ianbattles7290 Exactly
Didn't the kid attempt 2x? It was self defense!
@sandramccann6967 Yes. ✔ He was attempting to break into her apartment, & she called 911. He took off (but remained close by). The police arrived, & she told them that he had left. When the police left, he went back to her apartment & tried _again_ to break in, around 3 A.M. (He had been hiding/watching nearby while the police were there, waiting for them to leave.)
Self defense 💯
@@morganjanelle4282 💯
This woman had every right to defend and to protect herself and her child aswell and this 14 year old boy shouldn't of been trying to break into this woman's property and he pushed his luck and because she shot him for trying to target her and I've got no sympathy for him and kids get away with far too much these days and alot of people make too many excuses for them and if kids play stupid games they will win stupid prizes and thats how they will learn
What was she supposed to do? ID the intruder first? "I just need to ID you first so I can figure out whether or not I can defend myself and my family." 🙄
She saved many lives
True
and money
💯‼️
Exactly. Untold lives saved.
It does not matter at all if she knew he was 14 or not. He broke into her home in the middle of the night. In Texas. It’s his fault for getting shot. Thank god she had protection!!!
I'm glad she wasn't convicted. She was protecting her home and kids from an obvious intruder.
Thank goodness! I can’t imagine how frightened she was when she realized someone was breaking into her child’s room!
Thank God! 4 girls & multiple attempts to break into her home? She had every right to protect herself, her children, & her property.
Who’s that peeking in my window?….POW!…..Nobody now
First thought that came to my mind
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Ummm that was ur sister visiting seeing if you was home…
why would charges ever be brought against someone defending their home?
Right? Especially in Texas like cmon
Cuz she's black...
Because you have to ask the question “Was it justified”. It is kind of strange that it went to a grand jury
In California the criminal has more rights than the victim.
In Texas if they are outside of your home (sadly) you can be jailed. I know a man that did 25 years for shooting a burglar in his driveway
The silly part is , WHY would the silly prosecutor send her case to a grand jury 🤔?? That was a clear cut self defense case . They are quick to waste tax payers money , that could feed the homeless. 😢
The kid knew what was right and what was wrong. The punk made his choice, it was the wrong choice. He did this to himself. Where the hell are his parents.
She should sue the parent of this kid for all that she's gone through. Her kids are traumatized, she was threaten with eviction for protecting herself and children.
Parents are ultimately responsible for the actions of their minor children. Why is your 14 year old out in the middle of night going in windows? Like we gotta do better.
I concur, and once you are subjected to eviction, it becomes far more challenging to secure a new apartment. Moreover, the existing difficulty of obtaining an apartment is compounded by the current state of inflation. The majority of individuals are unable to afford their current place of residence, let alone considering the possibility of relocating elsewhere. It is unfortunate that in contemporary times, when one experiences a fatal event. The world has the potential to abandon you, particularly in situations where you are not to blame. While I cannot engage in a debate with every individual in this discussion, I am certain that I would never desire to cause harm to a 14-year-old. However, when it concerns the safety of my own children, I am willing to take immediate action and talk about the situation afterwards, even though it may not be the most prudent decision. I would rather face imprisonment while safeguarding my children than allow anybody to inflict harm upon them. I am likewise perplexed by these laws. As citizens, we have the legal right to possess firearms and it is expected that we have the ability to safeguard our residences. Why is it that those who rightfully defend their houses are still need to undergo a trial, unless they have shot someone in the back? However, if you genuinely protect your family, the situation is separate from one another. There should not be any charges against you. It is possible for someone to unlawfully enter your residence, and if you take measures to save your family, you could perhaps face a lifetime imprisonment. If individuals of a different race than yours are involved, there may be others who manipulate the story and falsely claim that you shot them solely based on their racial background.
No, she should sue the apartment complex for not acting on her reports and properly securing the complex. This kid's parent was not responsible for the crime committed. Parent's can't be with their children 24/7 at some point they have to be responsible for their own choices. Holding the parent responsible only protects the kid from accountability.
@@naturelove831📌
I wouldn't be shocked if the apartment rep is the same ethnicity of the criminal or knows the criminals family. She escalated the presumed guilt of the mother by lying on her. It was a time where if your loved one harmed innocent ppl they were scolded by everyone. Today the criminal is protected. The parents probably have thought of suing the mother especially with money she's rightfully received. So I really pray this mother stops future interviews. Ppl looking for cracks in your story to sue. I pray she has a fun summer time season & found a safer neighborhood.
At 14 the child is old enough to know right from wrong and that breaking into someone’s home is wrong so the parents should not be held accountable being that his wrong behavior led to his parents having to bury him. I believe that is punishment enough
I feel so bad for her. I hope she doesn’t live her life blaming herself. She did what she was supposed to do under those circumstances. I would’ve never thought it could’ve been a kid breaking in either.
Good job Mom and the TV Network giving a chance to this Mother to express her side!
AMEN..
WE MUST PROTECT OURSELVES...
Mama Bear instincts kicked in. 🐻
Sad the intruder was only 14 years old and already headed for a path of destruction.
IT WAS THE SECOND TIME IN THE SAME NIGHT THE LITTLE RAPIST TRIED TO BREAK IN
That is what I am saying. He was after that baby.
this Woman is a Hero. Thank younfor keeping your family and our community safe. We love you, be safe and hopefully you can start a life fresh 😊
I’m so happy for her❤❤❤❤…Praying for her and continue to protect her!!
❤🙏🏽
It's Texas, thank goodness. There would be no way a Texas grand jury would indict her under those circumstances.
A bet a liberal state would. Thank God it is Texas and not liberal New York
But why did she have to have that hanging over her head for four months? Why was it sent to the grand jury in the first place? Very clear what happened, why was a grand jury needed in this case?
@bluemoon2675 there has to be some sort of oversight whenever someone is k regardless of the circumstances, or else its anarchy. I dont agree with how it was done either but I understand it, otherwise people would start just firing left and right at anyone if nobody ever bats an eye and then its chaos
@@cameronspence4977 Yes but everything doesn't go before a grand jury, someone had to "send" it. The DA I guess. Just seems like overkill to me. Or do all shootings go to a grand jury automatically?
@@bluemoon2675 well I dont know, Im not sure if its automatic or what I was just saying it has to go to some type of court even if the dhooting is completely justified you know, its unfortunate that thats reality, I dont agree with it going up that high either but its gotta go to some court even if it is justified
Thats RIGHT SISTER. protect your KIDS.
And she should have never been on trial in the first place Justice has prevailed
Why did we need to know that her housing is federally subsidized?
Had to go through all that legal crap for defending herself/kids against unstable creatures. Glad she was able to move.
Age does not excuse criminal behavior
Breaking into somebody's house means that you value their possessions more than your own life.
Justice.... Unfortunately I hated that a teenager sealed his fate doing something stupid
" federally subsidized home".😂😂 the shade 😂😂 yall gonna ensure ppl know she was on the system 😂😂
I think they mention it because she was not suppose to have a gun for accepting that type of housing, which is stupid.
God for her stand ur ground , protect yourself family and property !
They were actually trying to charge this lady and it took a grand jury to refuse the indictment. My goodness. Prosecutors don’t even want you to have the right to defend yourself!
They are not going to tolerate violence he says....and they continue selling weapons to children and any guy who goes to Walmart and legalize drugs....very coherent 🙄
I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THIS MOTHER AND HER CHILDREN😢SHE IS SO BRAVE AND I HOPE THE BEST FOR HER AND HER GIRLS❤
I don’t know his intentions but 14yr olds now are out here capable of killing people, even if the intention was to steal she has every right protecting her home and family. I’m sure she never wanted to use her gun and wasn’t anticipating Shooting a 14 yr old, she had to of been terrified and now has to live with that which is hard enough. I hope this incident speaks to any young teen thinking of doing that. Breaking into someone's home is not worth losing your life. Please be safe.
Self defense 😊
Thank God they are safe and moved.
Thank you for saving many lives
Cant believe it took so long for her to be cleared
And she shouldn't be!! I hate that she was even worried that she WOULD be charged! Stevie Wonder could see this was an open and shut case! If you try to climb in the window of a home you don't live in and you get shot OH WELL! YOUR FAULT!! It's a shame that this woman was kept in limbo for so long! I wouldn't have lost a wink of sleep and would have taken 5 vacations by now had I been in that situation! Forget that kid and the parents who clearly did a poor job of raising him! I hope this woman can move on with her life now! And she needs to sue the Housing Authority as well for kicking her out when all she did was protect herself and her daughter!
FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, You're amazing! I hit the like button as soon as I saw it!
Was it necessary to tell viewers that her home was federally subsidized?
They added that info as the apt complex tried to evict her after the shooting because you aren't supposed to have a firearm in the federally subsidized complex. Why no firearms allowed is beyond me; subsidized or not, she has the right to own a gun to protect her home.
Yes
Thank you for the answer to the question. I wondered the same thing.
@@Americanwomancirca1969 That makes sense. Thank you.
It is so very sad that an Older Child was putting the lives of Other Children in danger trying to be a criminal. But a Mother who is forced to protect her Children has to do just that. She did not want to kill anyone, but she had to remove the threat with little options in the presence of immediate danger. I am glad she and her Children survived but sorry she had to experience that in the 1st place.
Why would she be charged….
That kid had no legitimate reason to be entering her home through a window at 5am *and everybody knows it.*
That's called self defense. 👏🏽
GOD BLESS TEXAS!
Why did it take so long to clear her??? Y’all want 2 ammendment rights y’all better get the govt to protect you from lengthy legal process when you’re simply defending your home, family and safety.
The fact that this BS went to the grand juror is telling. T!
I'm curious if one of her other 3 daughters was acquainted with the 14 year old.
Even if the woman knew the intruder was a 14 year old, still makes no difference. You should already know the consequences of committing burglary. Also, if anything bad happens to you because you’re out late at night doing bad things, thats all on you…especially if you’re under the age of 18, given that you’re not supposed to be out in the late hour and the mother of that teen burglar knows better. There is absolutely no good reason for an individual under the age of 18 to be out in the after hours.
Great community, heroic mom! Her supporters are heroes as well! Wishing her and her family the best. Thank you for reporting this!
A Momma Bear protecting her babies... as should She. No one else was there to save her Family.
Justified… why would it matter whether he’s 14 or 41?
Im glad she lives here in Texas where she can protect herself 💪
Unfortunately children commit these types of crimes and he suffered the consequences of his behavior.
Why was it even put to a grand jury, she used a gun exactly how people claim they need one? I’m not a gun lover, but she did use one, as one is more intended for.
Protect your family at all cost now he won't break in anymore houses
But he was a good kid , he would never hurt anybody
She shouldn’t be charge you break into someone home you suffer the consequences
This should have NEVER gone to Grand Jury🤬...She like all others had every RIGHT to protect her babies...I pray she & her babies can heal from the trauma of this horrendous event, bcuz they was victimized twice 😡😡 RIP to the 14yr old and I hope this is warning to any other child doing grown ish
Did it have to go be before a grand jury? Couldn't prosecutor simply have said, no charges would be filed? Because, if so, seems ridiculous they didn't simply say, no charges, self defence.
Free rent? 4 kids? Get a job. Sick of all this crap.. Our tax money for others when we have families and we work.
The parents of the 14yr old didn't know of his criminal behaviors?
Why did he have to say federal subsidies home .
Did they have to tell everyone that her home was federally subsidized?🤦🏾♀️
This is a good decision; however, the guy lost his life due to what he had done.
She seems like a great mom! She initially called the police and the building authorities, protected her kids and got them into counseling.
I’m glad she isn’t facing any jail time, such a great mother for protecting her family.
What was a child doing outside that late?
She should be awarded, sainted, knighted etc… for saving the next victim(s) from that dude.
The judgement has been made.
Play stupid games...
Win Stoopid pryzes....
Took Long Enough!! 4 Months
I’m glad that she was protected by the law.
My biggest fear……
The Grand Jury got it right. The 14 year old should have been at home playing with a play station. My Condolences to his family!
It’s all of the positive energy in these comments for the mother that protected her family for me 🥰
I hope that parents with kids that are involved with mischief see this and learn from it. One wrong move could be your last one.
why would they want to convict her?? it is like they want her to be guilty or simply to be put in jail.
Thanks so much for updating us! I was worried about her, her kids. And losing her housing.
Why would anyone send this to a grand jury? FTP
How could she even have to go through a grand jury. Protecting her family from an intruder.
Please close section 8. She has to go work and pay for herself and her child. Supporting child is fully her responsibility not hardworking taxpayers. If she cannot then parental rights must be revoked.
Should never have been a grand jury!
Why tf would she be charged because somebody was breaking into her home?? That make no damn sense....😡😡
She’s in section 8, but spends that much on makeup, tattoos, and fake eyelashes?
Where was this momma while her son was breaking in?
Pffft no telling where she was. But wherever this mama was she was clearly not being a parent. 🤦🏽♀️ (Unless she ya know died or something.)
@@havingteawiththedevil true i definitely agree
Hope they stay safe yk the family hurts
Why did this take so long??? Self-defense is a reality these days... If the landlord knew her unit was broken into often... then they are at fault for not providing better security for their renters...
Of course nobody condone violence,....but what in the name a 14 year old would be doing at someone's window at that ungodly hour of the night 🌙?😕🤔🤔🤦🤦🤦🤦. It's not about bringing forth children into this world should be all the excitement,.......but what positive impact do both you as parents and children brings in the society is what all matters,.....life shouldn't be live by laws, but by principles 🤔🤔🤔
First of all why does the type of home she lives in matter 🤔 This country is ignorant af
