A Wisconsin woman was charged with solicitation of first-degree homicide after jailhouse calls revealed her alleged plot to have a father of three children killed in a fake robbery.

Ashanti Davis, 25, was arrested and taken into custody on Dec. 31, just shy of two months after the shooting death of her former boyfriend, Bernell Hall, 29. According to the criminal complaint obtained by WITI, a local Fox affiliate, Davis and Hall were sitting in a car behind a building in Milwaukee when two masked men ambushed them and told them to empty their pockets. Prosecutors said that the robbery was staged, and the only intended victim was Hall.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.
