MOBILE, Alabama – The man claiming he shot his mother to death on the order of Jesus Christ will be in District Court for a bond hearing on Thursday.

Derek Michael Boyce was arrested on Tuesday after his 53-year-old mother, Maureen Lomax Day, was found shot to death in the home they shared on Repoll Road.

Boyce later told reporters “Jesus told me to" when asked why he did it.

On Wednesday, prosecutors filed a motion to revoke Boyce’s bond on a previous charge of possession of methamphetamine, stemming from a Jan. 2013 arrest. That case has been waived to the grand jury for possible indictment.

The defendant will be in front of District Court Judge George Hardesty on Thursday to apply for bond on the murder charge.

Police have said Boyce called another family member after shooting his mother multiple times on Tuesday. That family member, who was not identified, called police to Repoll Road, they said.
