A man was killed by his younger brother after he attacked their mother at a home in Prichard on Sunday, according to a statement from the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO).

Jymatric Pickens died as a result of being shot after he showed up at 1022 Dade Street and attacked his mother, an MCSO spokeswoman wrote in a statement. A younger brother came into the room while Pickens and the mother were fighting and shot the older sibling. Pickens was “hit several times” and died on the scene, according to the MCSO statement.
