Alberto Eduardo Vanmeter, 19, was killed in Lafayette, Indiana, on August 31, 2020, during what authorities described as a botched armed robbery. Vanmeter and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Jaelynn Billups, allegedly placed a fake pizza order to lure a delivery driver, 37-year-old Joshua Ungersma, to an abandoned house.
A witness reported that after the initial shots, Billups approached and allegedly shot Ungersma, killing him. Police found both men dead and took Billups into custody. She was charged with two counts of murder — including for Vanmeter’s death under the theory that her role in the armed robbery led to it — plus conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery, theft, pointing a firearm, and carrying a handgun without a license. Her trial had been set for February 23, 2021.
Are there readers who knew Vanmeter or have information about the events that night?
