When the police arrived, Emily was no longer breathing, and Kirk had to restrain her mother.
“Lockett was going crazy inside the residence and saying she was going to kill herself,” the police report said.
Lockett also made statements about a “sword,” and police found a metal sword in her Dodge truck.
In a raid on her home, police found medication for schizophrenia, depression and anxiety.
The Illinois Department of Child Services said that it had been working with Lockett since 2015, but said that she had never been violent with her children before.
Don Carpenter, Emily’s cousin, has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for her funeral.
