Oklahoma daughter charged with murder after video shows her giving gun to mother with dementia, who committed suicide: Police

An Oklahoma woman was charged with murder after allegedly supplying a gun to her elderly mother – who was suffering from dementia. The mother used the firearm to commit suicide, according to police.

Jaye Dee Watts, 44, is charged with felony murder by a caretaker and kidnapping.

According to court documents, the suspect was the primary caregiver for her 72-year-old mother – Lynda Watts.

On Sept. 10, police determined that the mother had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the home in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma City Police Department said Watts "intentionally provided a firearm to the victim which prompted the victim to take her own life."

Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Dillon Quirk informed KOCO-TV that the daughter "suggested that she take her own life." He added, "Very sadly, she did."

Authorities say that the daughter berated her dementia-ridden mother before the suicide. The alleged verbal abuse was caught on video recorded by a Ring camera inside the home.

Footage reportedly shows the daughter calling her incapacitated mother a toddler.

"Oh, I’m raising a 72-year-old toddler," the daughter allegedly said. "I can talk to you however I f***ing want to."

Court documents say the daughter told her mother to "take your pill or choke on it and die."

Video allegedly shows Jaye leaving her mother's bedroom, and returning with a handgun.

KOTV reported that Jaye can be heard on video telling her mother, "Here’s a gun," and adding, "Do with it what you f***ing will, b****.'"

Jaye reportedly instructed her mom on how to remove the gun from its holster.

According to authorities, the daughter came back to the room with a drill and told her mother that she was going to lock her in the bedroom.

Lynda Watts fired two shots moments later and killed herself, police said.

The Oklahoma City Police Department received an arrest warrant for Watts from the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office. Watts turned herself in to authorities.

Watts allegedly told police, "It sucks being a 24/7 caregiver."

Watts posted a $1 million bond, according to police.
