A Prince George’s County woman has been found guilty in connection with a 2024 domestic violence case that left her teenage daughter seriously injured. Officials announced that 33-year-old Talecka C. Brown was convicted on several felony charges, including attempted first-degree murder, first-degree child abuse, first-degree assault, and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
According to investigators, the incident occurred in September 2024 at the family’s home in Seat Pleasant. Authorities said the situation unfolded shortly after the child returned from school. The teenager was able to alert police and provide information that supported the investigation, leading to Brown’s arrest and prosecution.
Prosecutors described the case as a deeply concerning example of domestic violence involving a minor. State’s Attorney Tara H. Jackson noted in a public statement that parents have a responsibility to ensure their children’s safety and well-being. She emphasized the importance of accountability in cases where a young person has been harmed.
Following the conviction, Brown now faces the potential for a lengthy prison sentence. Under Maryland law, the attempted first-degree murder charge carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. A formal sentencing hearing is scheduled for February 19, 2026, when a judge will determine the final outcome.
Community leaders and child-advocacy groups expressed hope that the teenager will continue receiving the support and resources needed for long-term recovery. The case has renewed conversations about preventing domestic violence and ensuring that young people have access to safe environments and trusted adults who can assist them in times of crisis.
Authorities say the conviction underscores the seriousness with which Maryland courts address crimes involving children and domestic violence, and they continue to encourage residents to report concerns to local officials so appropriate interventions can be made.
