A mother who died over the weekend after being stabbed by her 16-year old son has been identified.
Authorities say 51-year old Misty Long was stabbed at her home dozens of times and died at an area hospital.
Police responded to the residence in the 3000 block of Shadowfax on Springfield’s north end after 9-1-1 calls from the home. Detectives arrested the son , Jonathon Long, who was at the scene when they arrived.
He remains in custody and faces several charges including first degree murder.
He made his first court appearance Monday. The judge has agreed for him to undergo a mental health evaluation.
