Girl, 17, 'lured Domino's delivery man with fake pizza order before killing him'

A 17-year-old girl shot dead a new father after luring him to an abandoned house with a fake pizza order, court documents show .

Jaelynn Billups tried to rob Joshua Ungersma while he was delivering the pizza but shot him when he asked someone to call police in Lafayette, Indiana, a witness claims.

Police found the 37-year-old dead on Monday, August 31 after there were reports of 'shots fired' at around 11.15pm.

They also found the body of Billups's boyfriend Alberto Vanmeter, 19, nearby with a Domino's pizza box, two drinks and cash laying on the ground beside him.

Mr Ungersma is believed to have shot Vanmeter in self-defence after the 19-year-old tried to rob him.

Billups allegedly shot the delivery man at point blank range.

The Lafayette Journal & Courier reports that Mr Ungersma was found with 'a .38 S&W revolver in his pocket with the rounds fired'.

He had a permit to carry the gun.

A coroner ruled that Mr Ungersma died of multiple gunshot wounds and Vanmeter died of a single gunshot wound.

Billups was charged with killing Joshua Ungersma and is being held without bond.

In a second murder count, she was also charged with causing Mr Ungersma to kill Alberto Vanmeter.

She was also charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery, theft, pointing a firearm, and carrying a handgun without a licence.
