Karla Lee, the mother of Tyshawn Lee, the 9-year-old killed in Chicago was already under fire for allegedly purchasing a new car with funds donated to her but the scrutiny has reach another level. News reports out of Chicago say that Lee flew to Las Vegas Tuesday night right after her son’s funeral.
Lee was criticized for using GOFUNDME money to buy a brand new car. She adamantly denied using the money from the fund but said it was money she saved up beforehand. She said she needed a car for her protection because walking and taking the bus just wasn’t safe for her.
