A 19-year-old Alabama teenager has been arrested after asking a Facebook friend, who was actually her aunt pretending to be a fictional boy, to shoot and kill her entire family and the dog, New York Daily News reported.
After moving in with her aunt in April, Marissa Williams started to get into verbal fights due to the teen's habit of friending strangers on Facebook and inviting them over to the Fosters, Ala. home, AL.com reported.
After Williams' aunt asked her to refrain from bringing strangers over and going to parties with random men, the 19-year-old blocked her aunt on Facebook.
The aunt created a fake Facebook profile for Tre "Topdog" Ellis and friended the teen in order to teach her niece a lesson about inappropriate Facebook use.
According to Austin American-Statesman, during their first online conversation, in late May, Williams gave "Ellis" her phone number and told him to come over and get drunk with her. She then offered Ellis sex if he paid off her $50 cell phone bill, AL.com reported.
Williams later complained to Ellis that she hated her family and asked him to stage her kidnaping, murdering the teen's aunt on the way out, the news outlet reported.
Ellis was provided with details of how to get into the aunt's bedroom to kill the woman and her fiancé. Williams also asked the "boy" to shoot her cousin and the family dog as he left the home, while she planned to pack up the car during the murder spree, according to AL.com.
The Tuscaloosa County Sherriff's Office was contacted by the distraught aunt soon after reading about the plan.
Williams admitted to deputies that she wrote the messages, but said she didn't actually want anyone to die, AL.com reported.
After being arrested and charged with solicitation of murder, the teen is being held in county jail in lieu of $30,000, according to records.
Fosters is a rural community southwest of Tuscaloosa, according to NYDN.
