An 11-year-old Florida boy was charged with killing a 4-year-old boy. He reportedly had a history of choking other children and carrying around dead animals, police said.

After police questioned the boy, who was not named, he told them he was angry at his mom when she told him she couldn’t afford to buy presents at a birthday party, according to MailOnline.

He then reportedly choked a 4-year-old, Braydan Anthony Trahern. Police said the boy’s motivation isn’t that clear.

The Medical Examiner’s Office in St. Augustine, Fla., determined that Braydan was the victim of a homicide. The cause of death was strangulation, WESH-TV reported.
