“I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father,” London Eley wrote on her Facebook status May 23.

On Monday night the father of her baby was shot dead in West Philly, police say.

Eley was already brought up on murder solicitation and weapons charges for the murder-for-hire Facebook post, and was in court on Monday when a judge upheld those charges.

The father of Eley’s baby, 22-year-old Corey White, was shot once in the chest hours after the court hearing, police say.

Police cannot yet say if White’s murder had anything to do with Eley’s death wish. Eley, 19, was arrested June 12 along with the alleged hitman-to-be, 18-year-old Timothy Bynum of Darby.
