The report added: “Mia told officers that she (allegedly) went to the residence with the intent to kill her parents.”
Cops said the transgender suspect was arrested just hours after her mother Gail, 69, and father Joseph, 70, were found shot to death in their Washington City, Utah, home. So far, there is no motive for the massacre.
Mia was arrested for investigation of two counts of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, seven counts of shooting a gun and aggravated burglary, according to KSL.com.
“My sister Gail and her husband Blue Bailey were shot dead tonight. I’m numb,” Gail’s brother, Mike Mitchell, wrote on social media.
“My poor mother has lost 3 of her 5 children. You always think it only happens to someone else. Give your brother or sister a call. Stay in touch.”
The arrest ended a 16-hour hunt after officers responded to reports of shots fired at the family home. Bailey had been considered armed and dangerous after fleeing the scene in her discrete mobile, a bright yellow 2014 Kia Sol.
TEEN ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO KILL MOM BECAUSE SHE WAS ‘WEIRD BITCH’
A Mississippi teen allegedly told shocked homicide detectives she tried to kill her mother because she was a “weird bitch” and was “suppressing the Black in her.”
According to cops, officers had responded to an alleged “cutting incident” last Friday at about 2:30 a.m. Inside the home, they found the victim with multiple stab wounds.
The victim told detectives that she allegedly awoke to Lexi Brown, 15, of Gulfport, “attacking her with a knife.” The teen then allegedly tried to set the home ablaze. The extent of the mom’s injuries is not known.
Lexi was in custody at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center on charges of attempted murder and first-degree arson. Her bond was set at $1.25 million.
COPS CAPTURE SUSPECT IN DOUBLE SLAYING
Sequoyah County Sheriff’s deputies found the bodies on a lonely stretch of Hwy. 64 in Oklahoma. The victims — a man and a woman — had been shot to death. So far, neither has been identified.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation confirmed the pair had “sustained injuries consistent with homicide.”
Cops in three states were hunting Stacy Lee Drake, 50, last seen outside a motel northwest of Little Rock, Ark. Drake is suspected in a trio of murders connected to two different carjackings.
He was arrested Thursday morning in Arkansas.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Drake was considered “armed and dangerous.”
LGBTQ CLUB KILLER CAGED FOR LIFE
Anderson Lee Aldrich was on a mission to kill and seething with hatred.
On Nov. 19, 2022, armed with an AR-15 rifle, he entered Club Q nightclub (an LGBTQ watering hole) in Colorado Springs, Colo., and began shooting. By the time his bloodlust was sated, five people were dead and another 19 were severely injured.
On Wednesday, the corpulent killer was sentenced to life in prison — plus 190 years. Aldrich, 24, will have no chance of parole. He pleaded guilty to 74 federal hate crimes and firearms charges linked to the shootings.

Initially, federal prosecutors were determined to issue Aldrich an express ticket to death row, but that was taken off the table when he pleaded guilty. As part of the deal, he confessed that his motive was because of the victims’ “actual or perceived gender identity or sexual orientation.”
He earlier pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree murder and 46 counts of attempted murder on the state charges.
The victims were: Daniel Davis Aston, 28; Kelly Loving, 40; Derrick Rump, 38, Ashley Paugh, 35; and Raymond Greene Vance, 22.
“Please, your honour, I’m pleading with you. Lock this animal away to the depths of hell,” mom Cheryl Norton said.
Done.
“You targeted this community where it lives and breathes. This community is stronger than your armour, than your weapons and it’s sure as heck stronger than your hatred,” U.S. District Judge Dianne Sweeney told Aldrich.
Ironically, Aldrich now says he identifies as non-binary.
U.S. army combat veteran Richard Fierro was one of the first to help stop the slaughter by grabbing the barrel of the killer’s gun, then hitting him with it.
“His evil was stopped by a person of colour, by LGBTQ folks, by a transgender woman, by actual combat veterans, real heroes,” Fierro told USA Today in 2023, adding that he wanted people to know that.
