Chicago mom charged with giving 13-year-old murder weapon

"I killed her. I killed her."

The words were uttered in panic by a 13-year-old girl Saturday night as she washed blood from the knife she had fatally plunged into the chest of De'Kayla Dansberry, 15, during a fight that occurred minutes earlier, according to Cook County prosecutor Christina Hake. Hike cited eyewitness testimony at a juvenile court hearing Tuesday afternoon.

"Oh Jesus," De'Kayla's mother, Sheila Dansberry, whispered through tears as she watched the proceedings.

The girl - a seventh-grader - was charged with the slaying Tuesday morning.

She wore a pink hoodie and was carrying a knife when she left her home Saturday, Hake said.

The girl got the knife from her mother, Tamika Gayden, Chicago Police said later.

Gayden, 35, of the 6400 block of South King Drive, was charged with murder and felony contributing to the delinquency of a minor, police said.
