On March 7, 2026, deputies responded to a distress call at a home in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where they found 41-year-old Theresa McIntosh shot in the back of her head, unconscious but still breathing. Initially, authorities were led to believe it was a suicide, but as the investigation progressed, it became evident that something far more sinister had occurred. McIntosh’s 14-year-old son, Havoc Leone, was arrested, and the details that emerged painted a tragic and disturbing picture of family tensions leading to violence. The shooting stemmed from a heated argument over a stolen tablet, a situation that had been brewing for some time. According to court documents, Leone, frustrated by his mother’s demands for the tablet’s password, retrieved a gun he had stolen from her car and shot her in the back of the head as she bent down. The chilling admission revealed that Leone had been harboring anger toward his mother for some time, even admitting that he had contemplated killing her before.

The case took an even darker turn as investigators uncovered the shocking truth behind McIntosh’s injuries. Contrary to the initial belief that McIntosh had shot herself, the wound was inconsistent with a self-inflicted injury. The absence of an exit wound and the location of the gunshot led medical personnel and law enforcement to reconsider the scenario. Leone, after initially denying any involvement, eventually confessed to shooting his mother during the argument. His father, who was unaware of the escalating issues between them, struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation, expressing horror at the thought that his son could be responsible for such an act. The case continues to unfold, leaving behind a family shattered by grief, shock, and the painful consequences of unresolved anger.
