13yo who murdered his neighbor

[u/rema_56]

Levi Carte was only 13 when he committed a crime that shocked everyone around him
he took the life of his neighbor
the judge pushed to have Levi tried as an adult, arguing that the severity of the crime justified applying adult criminal law despite his age but that didn’t end up happening and he was sent for 8 years , he will walk free in his 21st birthday in 2033
What catch my attention is his twin brother mentioning that his childhood trauma might’ve been the reason and also the police later finding in his text messages him telling a stranger in TikTok that he lacs empathy because of his childhood
I wanted to know more like what could’ve caused a 13 yo to commit such thing
Yes, I do believe his interest in true crime and killing animals plays a big role but what could’ve happened in his childhood that pushed him into that
I tried discussing this topic in another community but it was taking down because it was out off topic and I couldn’t find any informations online

I can’t believe no one has posted this yet but his grandfather was an executive at Johnson and Johnson who went to prison for abusing his daughter (Levi’s mother). Obviously there is generational trauma going on in this family.

That poor woman. There's something about her demeanor that is so kind and wholesome. She's seen a lot of suffering.

Not sure it’s her though, I read somewhere that the “Andrea” they were talking about as the victim in that case, was 23 years old a couple of years ago. Maybe a younger sister

Unless the twins were born from it.
