IRVINGTON, AL. A grandmother is dead, and her granddaughter is behind bars charged with her death.
It all started on Saturday, July 26, 2025, when EMA and the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office responded to a medical emergency at 10355 Beverly Road, Irvington, Alabama.
According to the sheriff’s department, upon deputies’ arrival, Diane Marrow Trest (DOB 12/07/1954) was found unresponsive in her front yard with head trauma.
EMS and firefighters could not revive Trest, and she was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Deputies said that they observed a mallet that was lying near her.
The Mobile County Sheriff’s Major Crime Unit was called in and detectives interviewed witnesses and gathered evidence.
Two individuals reported being flagged down by a female who stated Diane Trest had been beaten to death by her own granddaughter who they identified as Jailen Mia Lupton. The driver then called 911.
Another witness, a neighbor, stated Lupton forced her way into her home, pushed her down, and demanded car keys, claiming she had just killed her grandmother.
Deputies arrested Jailen Ma Lupton (DOB 06/10/2007) and have charged her with Murder and Burglary.
