A 12-year-old Houston boy has been accused of gunning down a 51-year-old woman inside an apartment over the weekend.

The boy, whose name was not released because he is a minor, was arrested in the killing of Sharon Hawkins, who was found dead on the bedroom floor with several gunshot wounds on Saturday afternoon, Houston Police said Monday.

Police said the pre-teen started out as a witness in the case, telling detectives he saw a suspect, dressed in all black, leaving the scene at the Salado at Cityview apartment complex.

Investigators found no sign of forced entry. They later took the boy into custody.

No motive for the murder was immediately released. The boy was charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was transferred into the custody of Harris County Juvenile Probation authorities.

Relatives of the victim, who worked as a security guard at the Downtown Courthouse Complex, said they were shocked to learn the age of their loved ones’ suspected killer.

“What put it in a 12-year-old boy’s head to walk up to somebody and just kill them in the house?” Hawkins’ sister-in-law, Kenisha Hawkins, told local Fox affiliate KRIV-TV.

Hawkins had been staying at the apartment with a coworker, her sister-in-law said.

She leaves behind two sons, Jarvis Hawkins and Andre Hawkins, the latter of whom told the outlet he was disturbed to hear that a young boy had been collared in his mom’s murder.

“A 12-year-old? That’s the first thing I said, a 12-year-old?,” Andre recalled.

“She was my everything, she was my best friend,” the heartbroken son said of his mother. “She was my go-to person whenever I needed advice about something, anything, it hurts.”

“It’s like I lost my own life.”
