A Knoxville mother believes charges should be filed against the man who shot and killed her son early Monday.
While acknowledging Tamon Stapleton, 18, was "in the wrong" when he tried to rob an Asheville Highway convenience store while armed, the unnamed gunman who killed Stapleton should be held accountable, Joy Stapleton said.
"I feel like the man should be charged," she told 10News.

Stapleton had been in and out of the juvenile system for years, according to records. He was born in April 1997.
"He had a very violent and extensive criminal history as a juvenile," said DeBusk.
In 2011, officers picked him up for aggravated burglary. The following year, he was accused of attempted and aggravated robbery. He was put in the system a half-dozen times in 2011 alone.
