SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio (WJW) — A 19-year-old woman is being held in jail, accused of shooting and killing her mother on Friday in South Euclid.

Nia Patterson appeared in South Euclid Municipal Court on Monday to face the murder charge.  She is accused of shooting her mother, Angela Bates, at a house on Grosvenor Road.

Judge Timothy Strekel set bond at $750,000. The judge also stated if Patterson posts bond, she must be placed on a GPS monitoring device.

Patterson waived her right to a preliminary hearing. The case has now been sent to a Cuyahoga County grand jury to determine if Patterson should be indicted.

“This situation is certainly a tragedy all around,” said Attorney Morgan Caruso. “At this time, I cannot provide further comment on behalf of my client, as I have not yet had the ability to see and thoroughly review all of the evidence.”
