Mother of elderly assault suspect speaks out and apologizes to victims

MILWAUKEE – A parent is speaking out after a brutal attack that shocked the community in the Walker's Point neighborhood on Sept. 11.

Four teenagers are now accused of beating three men, two of them elderly.

The incident occurred in an alley near Bradley Tech High School.

“Nobody wants to see their child in prison. But if you commit a crime, you have to go to prison for it,” said Primrose Hibbler, the mother of one of the suspects.

Hibbler said her 14-year-old son was charged following the attack. TMJ4 is not identifying the teen because he has not been charged as an adult.

“All of this worries me,” Hibbler said.

Witnesses told TMJ4 that all of the teenagers involved were students at Bradley Tech High School.

“All these kids know better. They know better. They're 14, 15, 16… They know better,” Hibbler said.

Milwaukee police described the attack as “inhumane.” Jessie Andino and Freddie Vega were injured.

Hibbler apologized to the families of the victims.

“I would tell them I'm really sorry. I'm not a bad mother. I didn't raise my son that way. I'm sorry if they're upset. They have the right to be upset. I would be too,” she said.

Hibbler's son is accused of physically abusing an elderly person.

“They shouldn't have done anything. They shouldn't have touched him. They should have just gotten out of his way and he should have come home because he was already in an ankle bracelet,” she explained.

Her son will appear in court on Wednesday morning.
