According to reports, he was accused of causing substantial brain damage to his mother after she filed an eviction notice against him. The incident occurred in Valparaiso, Indiana. He has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery. The mother, unfortunately, passed away following the incident. Kobold pleaded not guilty, and a jury trial was scheduled for July 8.

• Circumstances: On the day of the eviction notice, police responded to an assault report at their home in Valparaiso, Indiana. They found Shanelle Burns-Cook unconscious with serious injuries.

Conner Lee Kobold’s motive for the attack seems to be linked to the eviction notice served by his mother, Shanelle Burns-Cook. According to reports, she had given him 30 days to meet certain conditions, including getting a job, cleaning his room, and helping with the common areas of the home, to avoid eviction. Unfortunately, the situation escalated, leading to the tragic incident.

Prior to the tragic incident, the relationship between Conner and his mother appeared strained due to household responsibilities and expectations. His mother had issued him an eviction notice with specific conditions he had to fulfill to remain at home. These conditions included getting a job, cleaning his room, and helping with the common areas of the house. Despite this, Shanelle Burns-Cook is remembered as a witty, kind, and creative person who enjoyed traveling and had several creative abilities, including playing the piano and writing. The situation, unfortunately, escalated, leading to the incident.

Authorities discovered Shanelle Burns-Cook’ body after Conner called 911 multiple times. When police arrived at their home they found her unconscious with serious injuries. Signs of a struggle were evident, with furniture displaced, and she was found without breathing or a pulse. During the 911 call, Conner remained calm and composed. Kobold reportedly told the dispatcher, “I need you to send a police car here right now,” and later admitted to an officer, “Yeah, I killed somebody in that house.”
