Jamilah Mahan not guilty by reason of insanity in fatal unincorp. Willowbrook shooting of twin: DuPage County court records
A DuPage County woman has been found not guilty by reason of insanity in the fatal shooting of her twin brother in their unincorporated Willowbrook home last year, court documents show.
Jamilah Mahan was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated domestic battery for allegedly fatally shooting Jihad Mahan, 23, at 16W630 Mockingbird Lane, the sheriff's office said.
She's been remanded to a mental health facility after a bench trial. The case will be back in court in November.
Mahan allegedly shot her twin brother before engaging in a physical struggle with her mother, police said.
"The senseless act of domestic violence alleged in this case has a serious impact on the entire community. To Jihad's family and friends, I offer my sincere condolences and wish them strength as they mourn the loss of a family member and come to terms with another family member accused of his murder," DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement.
Mahan was held at the DuPage County Correctional facility until her trial.
