Police in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama arrested 16-year-old Jeramie Trey Mink on Thursday night in the shooting death of his 44-year-old father Charles Adam Mink, Jr. Jeramie and Charles are the only two occupants who live in the trailer in McCalla, AL and they were the only two people there are the time of the murder.
Jeramie apparently called his mother sometime between 9 and 10 p.m. Thursday night, telling her that he had shot his father. She drove to the house prior to calling the Sheriff’s Office to report that Mink was dead.
According to the boy’s statements to police he admitted to killing his father but investigators are saying now that the only thing they don’t know is why?
Jeramie Mink goes to school with me.
He’s also in my grade.
I had classes with him too.
He’s always hated his dad.
When i was in 9th grade he told me he hated him.
I always thought it was funny because he would steal
his dads car/truch at night and go buy a Monster Energy Drink.
I would have never thought Jeramie to be the kind of guy
to do something like this.
Everyone in my school is really shocked.
No one really talks about it.
Its prohibited.
I hope he knows he’s in my prayers.
He “WAS” a good friend a long time ago.
I’m soo sorry for his family.
