Police are charging a mother for killing the stepfather of a boy who hit her son during a street dancing contest.

On Tuesday, Patricia Heyward, 39, was charged with murder and related counts after surrendering to authorities.

The dispute started when Donald Clyburn's stepson, Alex Ledino, struck the other boy with his elbow during the neighborhood dance contest, the Philadelphia Daily News reported.

Even though Alex apologized for the "accident" as he called it, Hayward went to the boy's home and got into an argument with Clyburn. She then shot the 41-year-old near his home.

"I see the lady pull the trigger and see my husband drop," said Alex's mother, Angela Clyburn.
