The 27-year-old son of a Kankakee, Illinois woman killed Thursday morning has been arrested in her death.
Police say Devail A. Bryant, the eldest son of 46-year-old Tomina D. Green, shot and killed his mother sometime early Thursday at her residence in the 800 block of South Dearborn Avenue in Kankakee.
Bryant was not expected to be charged Friday as the Kankakee County State’s Attorney’s Office had not reviewed the case file as of 9:15 a.m. Friday. Kankakee County State’s Attorney Jim Rowe said charges would likely be filed Saturday morning at the bond court held at the Jerome Combs Detention Center.

Kankakee police noted Bryant did not live with his mother. The circumstances surrounding the incident have not yet been released.
