Police said Andre Smith II, 12, and his 8-year-old brother were staying at Martina’s home Saturday night.
She woke up the boys’ mother, Nia Moore, and told her to get her sons immediately after McCroy received a text message from Martina accusing Andre of stealing money.
Police spoke with Andre’s great-grandmother who lives with Martina.
Martina has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, physical abuse of a child and child neglect, WISN reported.
