- 1:25Speaker 1: we just we take it and we learned from it

- 1:41Speaker 1: stating they'll take from it and learn what they can.
- 1:44Speaker 1: But what about his wife? What about his children? His
- 1:50Speaker 1: very young children to be raised without a father, without
- 1:55Speaker 1: a data, without those two incomes, How were they going

- 2:04Speaker 1: plot hatched to get money from a pizza delivery guy
- 2:10Speaker 1: and now a whole family is left devastated. What are

- 2:55Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon Now the
- 2:59Speaker 1: star of poisonous Liaisons on the True Crime Network. But
- 3:03Speaker 1: first to my longtime friend and colleague, Crime online dot Com,
- 3:07Speaker 1: investigate every reporter, Alexis Terres Chuck Alexis, take a listen
- 3:14Speaker 1: to wt h R thirteen. Flafia police were called to
- 3:19Speaker 1: this address just after eleven pm last night. When they arrived,
- 3:22Speaker 1: they found two men shot and killed in the street.
- 3:26Speaker 1: One of them was a Domino's pizza delivery driver. The
- 3:29Speaker 1: Domino's store less than a mile away confirms thirty seven
- 3:32Speaker 1: year old Josh Ungersma was making deliveries last night. Josh
- 3:36Speaker 1: was a delivery driver for us for over a year.
- 3:39Speaker 1: He was a great guy and a great employee who
- 3:42Speaker 1: was working a second job to provide for his family.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Nineteen year old Alberto van Meter was apparently shot and
- 3:49Speaker 1: killed first at the scene. Neighbor Patrick Gibson heard the
- 3:52Speaker 1: shots from inside his house next door. If I came
- 3:55Speaker 1: out after I heard the first four shots, the kid
- 3:57Speaker 1: was already dead, so I don't know who shot the
- 4:02Speaker 1: first four shots or whatever. Then, Gibson says he witnessed
- 4:05Speaker 1: a teenage girls shoot the driver. I would never thought
- 4:09Speaker 1: once in my life I would see something like this. Happening,
- 4:13Speaker 1: like right there in my height somebody getting shot and killed,
- 4:16Speaker 1: or like somebody did like right there in my face
- 4:19Speaker 1: in that's the other reporter, Alexeis Terrest, checked with me.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Hold On, Alexis, I just had a thought to doctor
- 4:25Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall. You know, I just heard for the first
- 4:28Speaker 1: time a fact that the pizza delivery addressed the shooting.
- 4:34Speaker 1: The murder was just one mile from the pizza parlor itself,
- 4:41Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany, when you think a pizza delivery guy in danger,
- 4:44Speaker 1: you think they're speeding to a delivery. Don't think of
- 4:47Speaker 1: this just a regular night working a second job to
- 4:51Speaker 1: support his wife and children. Worked all days the meat
- 4:55Speaker 1: cutter pizza delivery at night, one mile away. He never
- 5:01Speaker 1: came home. Nancy. You would also think there's a sense
- 5:04Speaker 1: of familiarity in that neighborhood, so he must have known
- 5:09Speaker 1: something about the neighborhood and which he was working. But
- 5:12Speaker 1: back to your point about the calm, the peacefulness of
- 5:15Speaker 1: familiarity we feel in our own surroundings. Think about the
- 5:19Speaker 1: statistic that most children who are murdered or kidnapped are
- 5:24Speaker 1: found within three quarters miles of the family home. Think
- 5:29Speaker 1: about the number of domestic homicide victims who are secreted
- 5:33Speaker 1: inside the home in which they lived. We think of
- 5:37Speaker 1: home as a safe place, but perpetrators also lurk close
- 5:42Speaker 1: to our homes and to their own homes, and they
- 5:45Speaker 1: seek familiar places as well. So crimes are not always
- 5:49Speaker 1: out on the freeway or at a rest stop late
- 5:54Speaker 1: at night. Often there within your own familiar surroundings. Which
- 5:58Speaker 1: is what happened here, Till Chuck Crime online dot Com
- 6:01Speaker 1: investigative reporter. The familiarity that doctor Benthany Marshall is describing
- 6:07Speaker 1: really strikes me. Here's the guy out working a second job,
- 6:11Speaker 1: everything going spe stendered operating procedure. All of a sudden bam,
- 6:17Speaker 1: He's never coming home to his family again. Who is
- 6:23Speaker 1: this teen girl? What happened? So? Her name is Jelene Billets,
- 6:28Speaker 1: She's seventeen years old. She and her boyfriend, Alberto ben Meeter,
- 6:33Speaker 1: who was nineteen years old, came up with a plan
- 6:36Speaker 1: to rob a Domino's delivery guy. They went to a
- 6:38Speaker 1: house not even where I right there, right there, corrent
- 6:43Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Cheryl McCollum, Director Colecase Research Institute,
- 6:47Speaker 1: Recent Emmy winner, Cheryl, don't the pizza delivery people have
- 6:53Speaker 1: a sign. I never carry over what fifty dollars something
- 6:57Speaker 1: like that, absolutely, And Nancy, COVID most people don't even
- 7:01Speaker 1: take cash anymore. Everything is your debit card or a
- 7:05Speaker 1: credit card. So here's a guy with practically no cash.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Even before COVID, they would very often, if not always,
- 7:15Speaker 1: have a sign in the window. Joe Scott, I seem
- 7:18Speaker 1: to see that all the time. We don't carry over
- 7:23Speaker 1: what fifty dollars cash? It's very clear why would you
- 7:27Speaker 1: target a pizza guy with nothing? They're vulnerable, Nancy. I've
- 7:32Speaker 1: worked cases involving pizza drivers and taxicab drivers over the
- 7:36Speaker 1: course of my career, and they all turned out like this.
- 7:40Speaker 1: They were like they were executions essentially, because you've got
- 7:44Speaker 1: the element of surprise. This guy's rolling up to what
- 7:46Speaker 1: the authorities have deemed as an abandoned house, and they
- 7:51Speaker 1: know what they're dragging this guy into, and they're going
- 7:55Speaker 1: to ambush him. Hey, his hands are full, he's got
- 7:58Speaker 1: you know you've ever had a pizza delivered your house.
- 8:00Speaker 1: He's got a pizza in his hand. He's got a
- 8:02Speaker 1: couple of drinks they've ordered that that's actually found on
- 8:05Speaker 1: the ground there, and this guy's going into a dangerous situation,
- 8:09Speaker 1: and it's the most vulnerable position you can be in
- 8:12Speaker 1: as a citizen. You're just going about your daily job.
- 8:15Speaker 1: You're not expecting to be murdered. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 8:31Speaker 1: The names of the two people found dead in this
- 8:34Speaker 1: Lafayette street are thirty seven year old Joshua ungersma In
- 8:37Speaker 1: nineteen year old Alberto van Meter. Both of them are
- 8:41Speaker 1: from Lafayette. Now. It happened near the street's heart heart
- 8:45Speaker 1: in sixteenth Street, excuse me, last night in Lafayette. Lafayette
- 8:49Speaker 1: Police Lieutenant Matt Guard says the call came in at
- 8:53Speaker 1: about eleven fourteen last night. When officers got here, they
- 8:56Speaker 1: found the two men dead from gunshot wounds. LPED is
- 9:00Speaker 1: still investigating the homicides, but a teenage girl has been
- 9:03Speaker 1: arrested in connection to what happened here now. The deputy
- 9:06Speaker 1: corner also mentioned that Unger's Mott was a pizza delivery
- 9:09Speaker 1: driver in Lafayette. Lieutenant Guard could not say if that
- 9:13Speaker 1: had anything to do with the investigation. Yeah, it had
- 9:16Speaker 1: plenty to do with the investigation. These predators targeted the
- 9:21Speaker 1: pizza delivery guy. They didn't care that he's working to
- 9:25Speaker 1: Jos to support his family and his children. They didn't
- 9:29Speaker 1: care about that. This call came in around eleven fifteen
- 9:32Speaker 1: at night. They used the cover of darkness lured him
- 9:35Speaker 1: there for what little money a pizza delivery guy carries.
- 9:39Speaker 1: You were just listening to our friend, Samantha Tike at
- 9:43Speaker 1: WLFI eighteen News. Back to you, Joe Scott, Morgan, Professor Forensics,
- 9:48Speaker 1: jacksonvill State. You mentioned that you had worked a lot
- 9:53Speaker 1: of cases where pizza delivery guys and similarly possess positioned
- 10:00Speaker 1: victims are targeted and lured. Did you notice they waited
- 10:05Speaker 1: until it was dark to get the pizza. I mean
- 10:08Speaker 1: this was very well thought out, Joe Scott, Yeah, it was.
- 10:11Speaker 1: And think about this as well. There are two individuals
- 10:16Speaker 1: that are perpetrating this, this attempted robbery, if you will.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And so you have one person that's drawn the attention
- 10:23Speaker 1: of the driver, all right, while the other person is
- 10:26Speaker 1: essentially probably has a weapon being held on him. He
- 10:30Speaker 1: doesn't know where to go at this point. I'm sure
- 10:32Speaker 1: he's panicked. At this point, he is, like I said, Nancy,
- 10:36Speaker 1: he is vulnerable. This is what is referred to as
- 10:38Speaker 1: a symmetry in victimology. That means one person has the
- 10:42Speaker 1: upper hand at all times. And things went really sideways
- 10:47Speaker 1: very quickly. You know, Cheryl will call him. You're the
- 10:49Speaker 1: director of the Cold Case Research Institute and forensics expert
- 10:53Speaker 1: Joe Scott's laying a lot of fancy words on you.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Did you hear that symmetry in victimology? Okay? What is
- 11:00Speaker 1: he saying? All right? I would never say that too.
- 11:03Speaker 1: With jury, there's a lot of symmetry and victimology. What
- 11:07Speaker 1: just breaking down a column? He is so brilliant the issue.
- 11:12Speaker 1: You sure see that a side of your mouth. Go ahead.
- 11:15Speaker 1: You know he's frail. I love his voice, but basically
- 11:19Speaker 1: this person, I'm sure you'd be happy to report that
- 11:22Speaker 1: to your husband. But just keep going right now, enough
- 11:25Speaker 1: about Jay Scott Morgan and so called silver Fox. Go ahead.
- 11:30Speaker 1: But this is a soft target. So we see it
- 11:33Speaker 1: with delivery people, whether it's flowers or pizza. We see
- 11:37Speaker 1: it with real estate agents. They can be lured somewhere.
- 11:41Speaker 1: So this house is abandoned, so there's no phone, there's
- 11:44Speaker 1: no proper lighting, there's not going to be easy help
- 11:48Speaker 1: for the victim. So again they're laying in weight. But again,
- 11:52Speaker 1: my former prosecutor, Nancy Grace, I know what you would
- 11:56Speaker 1: do with this level of premeditation is beyond evil. So
- 12:02Speaker 1: you're talking about they stalk out this address, that's bogus.
- 12:07Speaker 1: They lay in wait, they make this phone call, they
- 12:10Speaker 1: order this pizza. And here's what's really discussing. They didn't
- 12:14Speaker 1: care who it was. It was just whoever in rotation
- 12:18Speaker 1: got this assignment. Whoever showed up was six and have
- 12:22Speaker 1: a gun shoved in their face. What they weren't counting
- 12:25Speaker 1: on is the victim having his own weapon. Yeah, they weren't.
- 12:29Speaker 1: And he carried that for reasons because I guess he
- 12:32Speaker 1: had felt threatened in the past. But he just kept working.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I want to go to ask you Wilcot Judge and
- 12:39Speaker 1: Trial Law, your anchor Court TV, ask you Wilcot dot com.
- 12:42Speaker 1: You know what my twins keep saying, Mom, I'm going
- 12:45Speaker 1: to get a job. I'm like, you're not going to
- 12:48Speaker 1: get a job. You're twelve. That's against the law. If
- 12:51Speaker 1: you want a job, here, here's a toothbrush and a
- 12:54Speaker 1: can of ajax. Getting there and clean the ground between
- 12:56Speaker 1: the tiles and in your bathroom tub. That worn't for
- 13:00Speaker 1: about a month, they keep saying this, get a job,
- 13:04Speaker 1: what delivering pizza? After I read a story like this.
- 13:08Speaker 1: You heard Joe Scott Morgan, you heard Cheryl McCollum. A
- 13:12Speaker 1: soft target. I'll never forget covering the real estate victim.
- 13:19Speaker 1: She went to a home, a guy was waiting on
- 13:22Speaker 1: her and murdered her. Just beautiful lady trying to She
- 13:28Speaker 1: had just called home and told her family, Hey, I
- 13:30Speaker 1: put something in the oven for you. Just turn it on.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I'll be there later, but your dinner's ready. I've got
- 13:36Speaker 1: one more showing I've got to go to. He killed her,
- 13:39Speaker 1: raped her and killed her. I mean, soft target. It
- 13:43Speaker 1: is just so wrong. It's not like some drugs shootout.
- 13:46Speaker 1: It's not like a wife plotting to murder her husband.
- 13:51Speaker 1: The pizza delivery guy, Ashley, Yeah, it's so random, Nancy.
- 13:55Speaker 1: It's really sad. We live in a world where you
- 13:56Speaker 1: always have to be aware, You always have to be
- 13:58Speaker 1: cautious because there are these on them crimes and criminals
- 14:01Speaker 1: will be criminals. Then they don't care who they hurt.
- 14:04Speaker 1: If they're going to try to rob someone like Jesscott said,
- 14:07Speaker 1: they had a gun, they didn't care what they did
- 14:09Speaker 1: with it, and it's really a world when we always
- 14:11Speaker 1: have to watch our back. But that doesn't excuse, condonor
- 14:14Speaker 1: defend the fact that these criminals took the life of
- 14:18Speaker 1: someone who was working hard to support his family. He never, ever,
- 14:22Speaker 1: ever should have been a target, right, there's no reason,
- 14:27Speaker 1: there's no excuse, there's no justification. And thankfully he had
- 14:33Speaker 1: a gun on him. I'm going to say that right
- 14:35Speaker 1: to carry, because if he didn't have a gun on him,
- 14:39Speaker 1: the results may have been the same, but it could
- 14:42Speaker 1: have been even worse. It just there's no good outcome,
- 14:46Speaker 1: but he had to be prepared for something just in case,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and it happened. Alexis. I just remember the woman's name
- 14:55Speaker 1: was Beverly Carter, the real estate agent. Just she looked
- 15:02Speaker 1: like a model, beautiful lady, beautiful family and goes to
- 15:08Speaker 1: this real estate showing and ends up getting murdered. The
- 15:14Speaker 1: defense at trial by the killer was that this woman
- 15:19Speaker 1: had met the killer for the first time and died
- 15:24Speaker 1: accidentally during a consensual sex act. The dinners in the
- 15:32Speaker 1: oven just put it on four hundred. I'll be home
- 15:34Speaker 1: in an hour, Are you kidding me? What a lie?
- 15:39Speaker 1: And I think we covered that together Alexis when Miss
- 15:43Speaker 1: Carter was murdered. And here we have another soft target.
- 15:49Speaker 1: As we hear Chryl McCollum describe it. What can you
- 15:53Speaker 1: tell me about the victim? He is very easy, seven
- 16:00Speaker 1: years old, he is married, he has a brand new baby,
- 16:04Speaker 1: not even a year old, baby's six months old. He's
- 16:06Speaker 1: a stepdad, a loving stepdad to a six year old son.
- 16:10Speaker 1: And as he's been a butcher for thirteen years, he's
- 16:13Speaker 1: had a steady solid job. About a year ago he
- 16:16Speaker 1: decided that, you know you, to do baby on the way.
- 16:19Speaker 1: They needed more money, so he got a job as
- 16:22Speaker 1: a Domino's delivery driver to earn more money. Everybody loves
- 16:26Speaker 1: this guy. I mean he worked so hard, and I
- 16:30Speaker 1: think you were right about Dominoes. But it's not fifty
- 16:32Speaker 1: dollars the driver's here, it's twenty dollars. That's nothing to
- 16:37Speaker 1: rob somebody over twenty dollars, you know, I guess, doctor Bethany,
- 16:42Speaker 1: I'm just learning a lot more about the victim. You know,
- 16:45Speaker 1: there are some men. I'm sure you've seen him out
- 16:47Speaker 1: there on rodeo drive. For everything is about appearance, not substance.
- 16:52Speaker 1: No offense to you. But here's a guy that marries
- 16:57Speaker 1: a young lady who is ringing with her a stepson.
- 17:02Speaker 1: A lot of men wouldn't touch that with a ten footpoll,
- 17:04Speaker 1: no matter how great the lady is. They just don't
- 17:08Speaker 1: want the responsibility. But he marries this woman with a stepchild,
- 17:12Speaker 1: then they have their own baby. Now, this that tells
- 17:15Speaker 1: me a lot about him right there, holding down this
- 17:18Speaker 1: kind of job for thirteen years, same position, ten years,
- 17:23Speaker 1: all day with a night job too. I mean, it
- 17:26Speaker 1: just reminds me so much of my dad, Doctor Bethany Nancy.
- 17:29Speaker 1: A couple of things come to mind about that. Who
- 17:32Speaker 1: wants to be away from their house late at night?
- 17:35Speaker 1: This was after eleven o'clock at night, when you have
- 17:38Speaker 1: a newborn at home. That in and of itself is
- 17:41Speaker 1: a sacrifice, not just the hard work of being a
- 17:43Speaker 1: piece of delivery man, but the loss of attachment with
- 17:47Speaker 1: your own child's or own family. Of course, he would
- 17:50Speaker 1: much rather have been at home than out working, probably
- 17:54Speaker 1: for minimum wage. The second thing is you mentioned the
- 17:57Speaker 1: realtor who is killed in the course of her work.
- 18:00Speaker 1: The guy laid and wait so that he could rape
- 18:03Speaker 1: and murder her. Where we are assuming that these perpetrators
- 18:08Speaker 1: were intending to steal money. These were two teenagers. What
- 18:13Speaker 1: if that was not the m for the crime. I
- 18:15Speaker 1: don't know criminology, but I do know human nature, and
- 18:19Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing that they needed to
- 18:22Speaker 1: use that much worse for twenty dollars. Well, of course
- 18:25Speaker 1: they didn't. You're trying to apply logic to an illogical situation.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Of course they didn't need to, but they wanted. This
- 18:32Speaker 1: guy's twenty five dollars crime Stories with Nancy Grace, a
- 18:46Speaker 1: guy working two jobs to support his stepson and his
- 18:50Speaker 1: kneeborn baby and wife. I just hate it because it
- 18:55Speaker 1: reminds me and my dad work in the night shift.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, the rest of us would be at
- 19:01Speaker 1: home and we'll be long to sleep before my dad
- 19:04Speaker 1: would make it back home. And then, you know what,
- 19:07Speaker 1: even getting home at two o'clock in the morning from work,
- 19:10Speaker 1: when I would wake up for school, my dad would
- 19:13Speaker 1: be up in there helping us make breakfast to get
- 19:15Speaker 1: ready for school. It just makes me sick. Sick about
- 19:20Speaker 1: this guy. Joshua Ungersman, we're learning a lot about what happened,
- 19:26Speaker 1: and about the characters involved, and about the victim himself.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Take a listen to Rich and IWTHR thirteen. Two witnesses
- 19:34Speaker 1: say they saw seventeen year old Jalen Billips shoot a
- 19:37Speaker 1: Domino's pizza delivery driver just after eleven pm on August thirty. First.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Court records say that Billops ordered pizza with a false
- 19:45Speaker 1: name to an unoccupied address on sixteenth Street in Lafayette.
- 19:49Speaker 1: When josh ungers Might arrived with the delivery, Billips and
- 19:52Speaker 1: her boyfriend allegedly tried to rob him. Investigators believe ungers
- 19:56Speaker 1: Must shot and killed nineteen year old Alberto van Meter
- 19:59Speaker 1: with a revol over, then Billips shot and killed Ungersma
- 20:02Speaker 1: with a nine millimeter handgun. The team faces multiple felony charges,
- 20:07Speaker 1: including three counts of murder and armed robbery. The charges
- 20:11Speaker 1: hold Billips responsible for Ungersma killing her boyfriend. Billips made
- 20:15Speaker 1: her initial court appearance by video and told the magistrate
- 20:18Speaker 1: her family plans to hire an attorney. Yeah, she's gonna
- 20:22Speaker 1: need a lawyer. Joshua Ungersma, however, dead. There is a
- 20:27Speaker 1: go FUNDI set up for his family and Jackie, if
- 20:32Speaker 1: you could get that for me, Alexis, I'll circle back
- 20:35Speaker 1: with you on that, but this is what we know.
- 20:37Speaker 1: The shooter Jalen Billups seventeen, charged with killing Joshua Ungersma,
- 20:46Speaker 1: and she may end up being charged with the death
- 20:50Speaker 1: of her boyfriend, who was shot during the armed robbery.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Nineteen year old Alberto ven Meter also dead in the
- 20:58Speaker 1: middle of all this. What do we know about her,
- 21:01Speaker 1: Alexas Tereshiak, I'm looking at a mug shot right now.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Seventeen Yep, we know she is seventeen years old. She
- 21:07Speaker 1: has I guess her boyfriend that she was there with.
- 21:11Speaker 1: But here's what happened during the crime. What the police
- 21:14Speaker 1: have said is, so she and her boyfriend ambushed Umar
- 21:19Speaker 1: sm some there are a bunch of shots fired. The
- 21:22Speaker 1: boyfriend is on the ground dead. That neighbors come out.
- 21:26Speaker 1: They talk to Umber as much Joshua. He says, please
- 21:28Speaker 1: call the police, and she actually dialed nine one from
- 21:33Speaker 1: her phone, the samphone that she called to order the
- 21:36Speaker 1: pizza from. Is what the police have said. So she
- 21:39Speaker 1: is starting the crime. She's calling up Domino steps him up.
- 21:43Speaker 1: He comes. Then after the boy her boyfriend's shot, she
- 21:47Speaker 1: takes the gun and walks up to Joshua and shoots
- 21:51Speaker 1: him point blank and kills him. You know that's overwhelming
- 21:56Speaker 1: to me. Could you just go through that very slowly
- 21:59Speaker 1: one more time? I'm sure so. Jalen is the one
- 22:04Speaker 1: that actually makes the phone call from her cell phone.
- 22:06Speaker 1: She calls Domino's Pizza. She orders the pizza. Joshua shows up.
- 22:11Speaker 1: He is ambushed by this couple. There are shots fired.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Her boyfriend, I'm saying boyfriend, the boy with her, the teenager,
- 22:19Speaker 1: the nineteen year old man is shot. He is on
- 22:23Speaker 1: the ground. Clearly, I believe dead. Everybody. People the neighbors
- 22:27Speaker 1: are coming out from the house. They see it. Angersma,
- 22:31Speaker 1: the delivery driver says to the neighbors police, I was
- 22:35Speaker 1: hoping he gets hope that he didn't feel anything. So
- 22:38Speaker 1: he lays there knowing he's dying and asked people to
- 22:42Speaker 1: call police. No, no, no, he hasn't been shot yet.
- 22:45Speaker 1: He has not been shot yet. He is he's defended himself.
- 22:49Speaker 1: He's defended himself from the robbery, and he is doing
- 22:51Speaker 1: the right thing staying away from the scene. So then
- 22:56Speaker 1: so he's there, he's doing the right thing. The responsible
- 22:58Speaker 1: to can call the police. She actually nine one one
- 23:01Speaker 1: from her cell phone. Then she picks up a gun
- 23:05Speaker 1: and walks over to him and shoots him point blank
- 23:08Speaker 1: and killed him. Alexis this is so different from what
- 23:15Speaker 1: has been reported, Doctor Bethany Marshall, did you hear that?
- 23:22Speaker 1: I heard the entire thing a Nancy. One of the
- 23:26Speaker 1: things I wondered was Jalen. She's there with a gun.
- 23:31Speaker 1: She sees her boyfriend shot and killed a seventeen year
- 23:39Speaker 1: old girl, then goes and shoots Josh the pizza delivery man,
- 23:45Speaker 1: who is the seventeen year old girl. Like she's a
- 23:49Speaker 1: homicidal seventeen year old. It's almost like she went to
- 23:53Speaker 1: that abandoned house with homicide on her mind, not with
- 23:58Speaker 1: pizza or the pizza dreams or stealing the twenty or
- 24:02Speaker 1: the fifty dollars or whatever she thought she could find.
- 24:05Speaker 1: This is a young woman who is primary m O
- 24:09Speaker 1: was homicide. That she was trigger happy, She was ready
- 24:12Speaker 1: to do it before the pizza delivery man ever even
- 24:15Speaker 1: arrived at the house. You know, in my mind that
- 24:19Speaker 1: changes so much. First of all, it was going to
- 24:22Speaker 1: be a felony murder anyway, which carries a life sentence
- 24:25Speaker 1: if she's treated as an adult, because it was during
- 24:28Speaker 1: the commission of a robbery. That's a felony, and someone
- 24:33Speaker 1: died josh Unger's mo the dad to too. But now
- 24:39Speaker 1: Alexa's terrest stripe. From what I understand you're telling me.
- 24:43Speaker 1: After Anger's ma tells neighbors call police, she comes over
- 24:50Speaker 1: and shoots him dead. Yes, he actually The neighbors said,
- 24:54Speaker 1: are you okay? And Joshua said, According to the police,
- 24:57Speaker 1: josh And says okay, but call the police. He tells
- 25:00Speaker 1: the neighbor to call the police. The police are saying,
- 25:03Speaker 1: you know, in according the affidavit, they say she actually
- 25:07Speaker 1: called nine one one from her cell phone. So she
- 25:09Speaker 1: used his cell phone to call Dominoes and she called
- 25:11Speaker 1: nine like one. Then the neighbor says he witnessed this.
- 25:15Speaker 1: He said, she picks up a gun and walks right
- 25:19Speaker 1: up to unders and shoots him. Walks right up to
- 25:22Speaker 1: the delivery arver. So he had been okay. Now police
- 25:25Speaker 1: are saying, or the prospers say he had several gunshot
- 25:29Speaker 1: ones I don't. They have not revealed how many times
- 25:31Speaker 1: he was shot, or if perhaps her boyfriend had fired
- 25:35Speaker 1: at him. But he said he was okay. So you've
- 25:37Speaker 1: been shot, you wouldn't say you were okay way any
- 25:40Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum Nancy the point of all this that really
- 25:44Speaker 1: steaks out for me too is the victim. The delivery
- 25:47Speaker 1: driver had already put his gun back in his pocket,
- 25:51Speaker 1: so he thought the threat was over, and he was
- 25:54Speaker 1: certainly not looking at her as anybody that was involved
- 25:57Speaker 1: with this robbery in the beginning. So again it goes
- 26:01Speaker 1: for premeditation. Both of these suspects have a gun laying
- 26:05Speaker 1: in weight on this man. When this happens and she
- 26:08Speaker 1: sees her boyfriend shot, it's critical to me that she
- 26:11Speaker 1: didn't run away in a panic. She didn't freak out
- 26:14Speaker 1: and leave the area to even save herself. She walked,
- 26:19Speaker 1: not ran, walked up to that victim and shot him
- 26:23Speaker 1: dead point blank and stayed there and police capture her
- 26:26Speaker 1: own scene. This is not your average seventeen year old.
- 26:30Speaker 1: To judge and trial lawyer a court TV anchor Ashley Willcot,
- 26:34Speaker 1: that is absolutely premeditated, because first of all, you have
- 26:38Speaker 1: the premeditation of them luring him. The victim, Joshua Angersma
- 26:42Speaker 1: to an abandoned home. It was not for a pizza.
- 26:46Speaker 1: The boyfriend, Van Meter, comes out with a gun, he
- 26:50Speaker 1: gets shot dead. Ugersma calls asked people to call police.
- 26:54Speaker 1: She comes straight out and guns him down. There's no
- 26:57Speaker 1: way around it. This is first degree. So I absolutely agree,
- 27:02Speaker 1: and I'm actually really impressed at that charged with two
- 27:05Speaker 1: counts of murder. Why because the phone connected her to
- 27:10Speaker 1: the initial call to the pizza delivery, which was premeditated
- 27:13Speaker 1: to get somebody there. Right, she did that and as
- 27:16Speaker 1: a result of that, her boyfriend was killed in self defense.
- 27:19Speaker 1: So I think it's genius on behalf of the prosecutors
- 27:22Speaker 1: to charge him with both crimes. I just have to say, Nancy,
- 27:25Speaker 1: this reminds me. Do you remember probably five years ago
- 27:28Speaker 1: the uber driver in Atlanta that was murdered, gunned to
- 27:32Speaker 1: the back of the head. Again, they never found any
- 27:36Speaker 1: connection between the person that shot him and killed him
- 27:41Speaker 1: and the fact he was an uber driver in the
- 27:43Speaker 1: middle of the night. I know that family. The reason
- 27:45Speaker 1: he was doing it was to help support the family money.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Exact same type of case crime stories with Nancy Grace. Guys,
- 28:05Speaker 1: I can't tell you how upsetting this case is. You've
- 28:13Speaker 1: got a decent guy, no connection whatsoever to these two defendants.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Second job, I pulled up this picture while we were
- 28:23Speaker 1: talking that I want to show you. If I can
- 28:25Speaker 1: hold it long enough, look at him. Look at him
- 28:29Speaker 1: with his baby, brand new baby, second job to support
- 28:35Speaker 1: his family. You know, take a listen to Rich Night
- 28:41Speaker 1: WTHR thirteen. Gibson posted video on Facebook from the scene
- 28:49Speaker 1: after both shootings. The seventeen year old girl was arrested
- 28:53Speaker 1: for robbery and murder. She could be charged as an adult.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Unger'sma also worked in the meat department pay Less Grocery
- 29:01Speaker 1: for over a decade. The store manager says he was
- 29:03Speaker 1: married with a newborn baby. We want to be able
- 29:07Speaker 1: to do everything we can for the family, and we
- 29:09Speaker 1: are going to for right now. We asked that you
- 29:13Speaker 1: give us some time for the healing process. The Domino
- 29:16Speaker 1: store is closed today out of respect to the younger's
- 29:18Speaker 1: my family. Autopsies or scheduled for both men tomorrow. It'll
- 29:22Speaker 1: be up to the prosecutor whether to file any criminal
- 29:24Speaker 1: charges against that seventeen year old. I'm just wondering now
- 29:28Speaker 1: if she will be treated as an adult throughout the
- 29:30Speaker 1: proceedings as she should. To forensics expert Joseph Scott Morgan,
- 29:35Speaker 1: Professor Friens at Shacksonville State University, j Scott, how can
- 29:39Speaker 1: we use forensics to prove the scenario that alexis reported
- 29:45Speaker 1: how it went down. Well, you know, let's go back
- 29:49Speaker 1: to what Max said just a few moments ago, when
- 29:53Speaker 1: this young man, this pizza driver, had actually taken his
- 29:57Speaker 1: weapon and placed it into his pocket. From what I'm understanding,
- 30:02Speaker 1: it was probably a revolver, a thirty eight caliber revolver,
- 30:05Speaker 1: which is kind of compact. There were four rounds that
- 30:09Speaker 1: had been fired, so you have those casings that are
- 30:12Speaker 1: contained at their end, those rounds, those bullets are going
- 30:15Speaker 1: to look different than what this seventeen year old i'll
- 30:19Speaker 1: call her an executioner, allegedly was caring. She was carrying
- 30:24Speaker 1: a nine millimeter and those two rounds are going to
- 30:27Speaker 1: look completely different, all right, And then we have to
- 30:30Speaker 1: think about range of fire. You know, with her, one
- 30:33Speaker 1: of the things that keeps coming up is this is
- 30:35Speaker 1: an execution style shooting. Shot him at point blank range.
- 30:39Speaker 1: When people say things like point blank, they throw it around.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Point blank is a real thing. That means that you're
- 30:45Speaker 1: within very close distance of this individual. I'm going to
- 30:49Speaker 1: be very curious to find out what the range of
- 30:52Speaker 1: fire is. Did she walk up to this guy and
- 30:55Speaker 1: just shoot him in the side of the head, Did
- 30:57Speaker 1: she shoot him in the chest and how many times
- 31:00Speaker 1: did she fire? And all of that's gonna be revealed
- 31:03Speaker 1: after the autopsy. Well, we do understand from the autopsy
- 31:07Speaker 1: from the coroner that the victim, the dad of two,
- 31:10Speaker 1: Joshua Angersma, was shot multiple times. He leaves behind wife Jenny,
- 31:17Speaker 1: stepson Logan, and his six month old baby boy. Sebastian
- 31:23Speaker 1: head warked as a butcher at Payless supermarket for thirteen years,
- 31:28Speaker 1: then joined Dominoes two years ago to make extra cash
- 31:34Speaker 1: to support his young family. I want to focus for
- 31:39Speaker 1: a moment on bills abub Jaillen Billups seventeen years old.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Could you give me any reason, ashe Wilcott, she should
- 31:53Speaker 1: not be treated as an adult. In many jurisdictions, it's
- 31:56Speaker 1: called the seven deadlies. If a juvenile all commits one
- 32:00Speaker 1: of the seven deadly sins, they will be bound over
- 32:05Speaker 1: from juvenile court to adult court. Those seven deadlies being,
- 32:09Speaker 1: if I think I can remember them all off the
- 32:11Speaker 1: top of my head, murder, rape, child molestation, sodomy, kidnap, arson,
- 32:21Speaker 1: and armed robbery. There you go. This definitely is one
- 32:26Speaker 1: of the seven deadlies. Give me one good reason a
- 32:29Speaker 1: trial judge to kick this back to juvenile Ashley I
- 32:33Speaker 1: don't think that a trial judge would, But I will
- 32:35Speaker 1: tell you the reason why it's possible under the law. Yes,
- 32:39Speaker 1: you're correct, seven deadly get charged as an adult. The
- 32:42Speaker 1: reason that a judge will kick it to juvenile court
- 32:45Speaker 1: is because remember, the purpose of the juvenile court system
- 32:48Speaker 1: is to rehabilitate juveniles. The purpose of the adult system
- 32:53Speaker 1: is to punish, and so they do it to try
- 32:56Speaker 1: to provide that. I disagree. If the only purpose of
- 33:00Speaker 1: adult court is to punish, why do we have halfway houses,
- 33:04Speaker 1: why do we have probation, Why do I just send
- 33:06Speaker 1: everybody to jail. Adults get rehabilitated too, But the purpose
- 33:11Speaker 1: of the system originally was not to rehabilitate, I would argue,
- 33:14Speaker 1: it was to punish. Now there is rehabilitation, don't misunderstand me,
- 33:17Speaker 1: but there is no there is for juvenile court for juveniles.
- 33:21Speaker 1: There is no intent, There is no punishment intended, but
- 33:25Speaker 1: rather rehabilitation. So when there's a hanous crime like a
- 33:28Speaker 1: murder like this, they are in my opinion, going to
- 33:31Speaker 1: be okay trying them as an adult because of the
- 33:34Speaker 1: hanousness of the crime. It doesn't mean they can't be rehabilitated.
- 33:37Speaker 1: When they're an adult prison, but it does mean that
- 33:40Speaker 1: that is not the focus the intent when the juvenile
- 33:43Speaker 1: court system was set up. This is what else I know.
- 33:47Speaker 1: I've been trying to speak to people there in the jurisdiction.
- 33:52Speaker 1: I understand that the boyfriend van Meter was found nearby
- 33:58Speaker 1: with a Domino's box, two drinks, and cash lying on
- 34:04Speaker 1: the ground beside him. We also know that the victim's
- 34:10Speaker 1: weapon was the thirty eight Smith and Wesson, and it
- 34:13Speaker 1: was in his pocket, as has already been reported by
- 34:17Speaker 1: Alexis terres Chuck. So what does I tell you, Cheryl McCallum,
- 34:21Speaker 1: director of the Cold Case Research Institute, boyfriend has found
- 34:24Speaker 1: with two drinks, a pizza and money beside him, Well,
- 34:30Speaker 1: it tells me he already started the arm robbery. He
- 34:33Speaker 1: had a nine millimeter Nancy, I bet you that nine
- 34:36Speaker 1: millimeter also comes back stolen, perhaps an in Gronado or
- 34:40Speaker 1: a burglary that he all say be tied to the
- 34:43Speaker 1: seventeen year old female. She most likely has a juvenile record,
- 34:47Speaker 1: she's had some issues with her school. I bet you.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I bet there's other victims that'll come forward about behavior
- 34:53Speaker 1: that she's displayed. And I bet when it comes to trial.
- 34:56Speaker 1: She has zero character. Witnesses, This ain't her for Rodeo.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Look at her mug shot. She ain't scared, she ain't crying.
- 35:05Speaker 1: She's looking at that camera like whatever. You know what,
- 35:08Speaker 1: you're right and you just got Morgan. It has definitely
- 35:12Speaker 1: been confirmed that was shot multiple times. This guy lies
- 35:18Speaker 1: there and dies outside at an abandoned house. His family
- 35:23Speaker 1: left without him at the hands of this she devil
- 35:27Speaker 1: at age seventeen. She's evil already at age seventeen. Yeah, hey,
- 35:35Speaker 1: you know what, Nancy. This is the thing about it.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Let me tell you how far this this evil extends.
- 35:42Speaker 1: The neighbors were already aware that this had happened. Remember
- 35:46Speaker 1: what we heard. He had engaged in conversation with these people.
- 35:49Speaker 1: So not only did they gun this young father down
- 35:53Speaker 1: out in the middle of the street, she did, but
- 35:56Speaker 1: she did it in front of witnesses. That's how old
- 36:00Speaker 1: and callous this is. This is something that is going
- 36:03Speaker 1: to weigh in this neighborhood for years and years and years.
- 36:06Speaker 1: I think back to a lot of the crime prone
- 36:09Speaker 1: areas I used to work cases in Nancy, and I
- 36:12Speaker 1: would go back to those streets and I would look
- 36:14Speaker 1: and I would say, you know what, I've worked a
- 36:16Speaker 1: homicide here three years ago, four years ago. The old
- 36:19Speaker 1: guys that were there before me. Yeah, you got to
- 36:21Speaker 1: avoid that place. I've had mold, and so this is
- 36:24Speaker 1: kind of like this generational thing that goes on that
- 36:26Speaker 1: area is going to be cursed and haunted because well,
- 36:29Speaker 1: you know what, You're right it will be. But I'm not.
- 36:32Speaker 1: So I'm not as worried about the area as I
- 36:35Speaker 1: am about this baby, Sebastian, the wife, the stepson. Their
- 36:41Speaker 1: lives are forever changed. If you want to donate to
- 36:46Speaker 1: the USA go fund me, I'm looking at it right now.
- 36:50Speaker 1: You look it up through I put in go fund me. UNGERSMA,
