Phoenix Police brought Elijah to Aurora Behavioral Health after he had a physical fight with his mother Janelle in their home. Elijah had several scratches on his back and neck including a mark on his face consistent with an open palm hand slap. When Janelle came home from work, Elijah was bothering his sisters Jaylene and Leximonet inside of Leximonet's room and would not leave the room. Janelle told Elijah to stop several times and to leave his sisters alone, but he refused. Elijah threw a shoe at Leximont hitting her, and Janelle reacted by grabbing Elijah and yelling at him. Elijah then broke a vase in the home and putting his hands up in a fighting stance to his mom and stated "fight me like a man bitch" followed by spitting in her face.
