At the scene, officers found Susan Early lying on the ground in the front yard. Neighbors were tending to Early, who had suffered multiple stab wounds and “still had a large kitchen knife protruding from her head,” authorities said.

Officers spoke with the victim, who said her son, 31-year-old Kyle Braun, had “attacked and beaten her in the kitchen of her home.”
