Mother Of Murdered 9-Year-Old Tyshawn Lee Reportedly Used Donations For Trip To Vegas

First Tyshawn Lee’s mother may have used the thousands she received in donations to bury her murdered nine-year-old son to buy a new car. Now it appears that she may have also used part of the funds to fly out to Las Vegas.

According to Fox Chicago 32 reporter Anita Padilla, Karla Lee didn’t even wait 24 hours after her son’s funeral before jetting off to Sin City.

Via Padilla’s Facebook:

What would you say if I told you that the mother of a murdered boy left town for Las Vegas on the evening of her son’s funeral?

That’s the news I am trying to develop this morning for Good Day Chicago. TWO very good sources tell me Karla Lee (Tyshawn Lee’s mother) has left town. One of the sources says she left on Tuesday night –THE VERY NIGHT OF HER SON’S FUNERAL–and SHE FLEW TO LAS VEGAS. Her family is said to be incensed. Keep in mind, this is the same Karla Lee who took a hit on social media over the weekend when she was criticized for using GOFUNDME money to buy a brand new car. She adamantly denied using the money from the fund…but said it was money she saved up beforehand. She said she needed a car for her protection because walking and taking the bus just wasn’t safe for her. (( In all fairness, Karla Lee’s cell phone is a Las Vegas phone number))

Everyone grieves differently, but damn. This isn’t looking too good. SMH.
