Carly Gregg, the Mississippi teen who shot her mother dead and wounded her stepfather, weeped as she was was found guilty Friday in the pair of ruthless shootings .
The 15-year-old is set to spend the rest of her life in prison after being convicted on all charges, which included first-degree murder, attempted murder and tampering with evidence.
The jury deliberated for two hours after watching home surveillance footage that shows Gregg, with a handgun tucked behind her back, darting into her mother Ashley Smylie’s room. Moments later, three shots could be heard ringing out followed by a scream.
Immediately after killing her mother, Gregg grabbed her mother’s phone and sent several messages to her stepfather, Heath Smylie, in what prosecutors allege was an attempt to lure him home.
“When will you be home honey?” one of the texts read.
When he arrived home, Gregg shot him in the shoulder before he wrestled the gun away from her.
The pair of shootings came hours after a friend tipped Gregg’s parents off about her marijuana usage. By the time she arrived home from school, her mother had discovered Gregg’s stash of vape pens.
