Corey White, Target of Facebook Hit Ordered by Ex-Girlfriend London Eley, Fatally Shot in Philadelphia

Corey White, target of a Facebook hit, fatally shot hours after judge upholds felony charges against ex-girlfriend London Eley, for offering $1,000 for someone to kill him.

London Eley orders Facebook hit on now-deceased ex  Corey White

Corey White, the target of a Facebook hit, was killed Monday night, mere hours after a judge upheld felony charges against his ex-girlfriend, London Eley of Philadelphia, who was accused of offering $1,000 on Facebook for someone to kill him. Timothy Bynum, the teen who may have allegedly took the offer, was in police custody at the time of the murder.

Corey White, 22, was shot once in the chest Monday night on a West Philadelphia street, authorities said. Homicide investigators said White got into an argument with the occupants of a brown car and a man got out of the vehicle and shot him.

"There are a couple of other theories out there," Capt. James White said. A few hours earlier, a municipal judge had approved charges including murder solicitation against White's girlfriend, 20-year-old London Eley of Philadelphia, and murder conspiracy and weapons charges against 18-year-old Timothy Bynum of suburban Darby.

"I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father," Eley wrote in a post this spring, according to a police affidavit. "Say no more ... what he look like ... where he be at ... need that stack 1st," Bynum wrote back, police said. A "stack" is $1,000, investigators said. Eley's attorney said at Monday's hearing that his client was merely venting about an argument she'd had with her ex-boyfriend and had no intention of following through. Source

Was this murder a coincidence or did London Eley actually pay someone to kill Corey White? Either way, she's in a lot of trouble. The world has gone mad, really mad. I am shaking my head. Now the child won't have either his or her Mom or Dad. SMH.
