Ellen Breaux, 33, was charged early Thursday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She and son Messiah, 17, are being held in the Harris County Jail with $50,000 bail.

Ellen’s sister Naomi says the family is concentrating on burying O’Cyrus Breaux despite the confusion surrounding the arrests.

“I don’t even know what to say because I don’t know what’s going on,” she said. “We keep calling, and they’re not giving us any calls back. My main focus right now is putting O’Cyrus in the ground.”
