Yes, you read that title correctly.
The story is quite wild.
An Illinois woman is being held without bond for allegedly paying a hitman $4,000 to kill a tow truck driver who her boyfriend had previously tried to kill, court records indicate.
, 26, has been charged with first-degree murder for helping to plot the murder of 33-year-old father-of-three Reginald Jones, who was gunned down in December 2014, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
In July 2013, Smith’s boyfriend stole the rims off of the tires on Jones’s car.
The two quarreled multiple times afterwards; during one fight, Smith’s boyfriend shot at Jones multiple times.
The boyfriend was jailed for attempted murder and, Smith’s prosecutors say, proceeded to pressure Jones into dropping his case by offering cash. Jones did not bow to said pressure.
Jones was killed on New Year’s Eve in 2014 by a ski-mask wearing gunman at a tire shop in Chicago’s South Side.
Prosecutors say the gunman, who remains at large, was later paid $4,000 by Smith.
Now, they both are in jail.
