Teen Allegedly Kills Guardian

John W. Wilfong, a 17-year-old accused of shooting and killing his guardian in her home was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

According to a probable cause statement, Wilfong planned the murder while his guardian, Pamela Ackman, was still at work.

When she returned, Wilfong had a 9-year-old who lived in the home watch from his bedroom window for Ackman's vehicle to pull into the driveway.

When she walked into the kitchen, Wilfong allegedly shot her twice, in the head and neck area, once after she'd already fallen.

Ackman and her husband Mickey were granted guardianship of Wilfong in November 2003. The Ackmans applied for guardianship of Wilfong in 2003, under protest by his natural mother.
