WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A Wichita mother has been charged with killing her 14-year-old son. A court document shows that Kylee R. Hodges is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Claude Hodges Jr. on Jan. 28.
Police went to the Hodges’ apartment in west Wichita last month to check on the son’s safety. They say the mother met them with a gun, and a standoff began. It ended with SWAT officers shooting the mother and finding the son’s body in a bedroom. He had been shot.
The mother was rushed to the hospital for surgery. She has been getting medical care for the last two weeks.
The Sedgwick County Jail booking sheet shows Kylee Reynolds-Hodges was booked into jail on Monday.
