Story here. Excerpt:
'BEAUMONT — Evetta Wright said she was puzzled when she got a call early Monday from her son.
Not long before, around 11:30 p.m. Sunday, she'd dropped Clifton “JR” Barkin off at his house after taking him to Wal-Mart to buy flowers and a Mother's Day card for Paige Parkerson, the mother of Barkin's two small children.
When she answered the phone, she said Parkerson was on the line.
“Paige told me she killed JR, that he was dead,” Wright said through sobs.
Wright said she sped back over to her son's house, but it was too late.
Barkin, 22, died just after midnight Monday in the backyard of his yellow rental house, stabbed several times. Wright said she believes Parkerson expected a more expensive gift, such as jewelry.'

'blamed on cheap gift'
The blame rests with the murderer, who apparently has a level of what I like to call the Nymphotropic Entitlement Complex that is literally murderous.
