UPPER MARLBORO, Md. – Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Tara H. Jackson announced today that 33-year-old Talecka C. Brown has been convicted of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree child abuse, first-degree assault, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony related to the shooting of her then 13-year-old daughter.
In September 2024, Brown got into an argument with her daughter and shot her in the back of the neck. Brown faces a maximum of life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for February 19, 2026.
“It is unimaginable that a mother would turn on her own child in such a violent way,” says State’s Attorney Jackson. “A mother has a duty to love, protect, and nurture her child, not cause them harm. Our hearts are with this young survivor, who endured a level of pain and fear no child should ever experience. We want to thank our prosecutors and law enforcement partners for their diligent work in ensuring accountability in this case as well as the jury for their service.”
Glad she was convicted.
Even gladder that it was only ATTEMPTED. I hope that poor girl can get past this and live a long happy life away from that woman.
