A Florida woman is accused of using some of her Covid-19 relief loan to hire a hit man to kill another woman, police said.

The suspect, Jasmine Martinez, is now in jail along with two others identified by police as Javon Carter and Romiel Robinson. They are each being held on charges related to the May 3 murder of Le’Shonte Jones and the attempted murder of Jones' 3-year-old daughter, who was injured in the shooting.

Martinez allegedly concocted a plot to kill Jones, and Robinson enlisted Carter to carry out the slaying, NBC Miami reported citing an arrest warrant. In the days before the shooting, Martinez allegedly withdrew about $10,000 from a federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan she received. The warrant alleges that she used the money to pay Carter for the crime.

According to the Miami Herald, Martinez received the $15,000 loan — given to business owners struggling during the pandemic — for a single-employment beauty salon. It's not clear if she actually owned the salon.

2. How tragic. Jones was a woman o fcourage and principle, and

at least her daughter will know that about her mother. Thank everything that they didn't kill her also.

As said, may they rot in prison.
