Miami mother Jazmin Paez, 18, used fake hitman site in attempt to kill off 3-year-old son
A young Florida mother was arrested Tuesday after trying to use a parody service to rent a hitman to kill her toddler son.
Jazmin Paez, 18, allegedly solicited an assassin through the fake website RentAHitman.com to take out her 3-year-old before Thursday.
The Miami-Dade mom is accused of submitting pictures of her little boy and the exact location he was going to be, court documents obtained by NBC Miami show.
Investigators posing as the for-hire killer spoke with Paez to flesh out the demented plan, during which time the blood-thirsty mother allegedly agreed to hand over $3,000 for her son’s murder.
After matching her IP address to the home of Paez and speaking with the child’s grandmother — who verified that the intended target was Paez’s child — authorities swooped in to arrest her.
She was charged with first-degree solicitation of murder and third-degree using a communications device for unlawful use, court records show.
Paez is currently being held in the Miami-Dade jail.
Her son is in the safe custody of family, according to investigators.
The man who operates the fake murder-for-hire site was the one who tipped them off to Paez’s sick scheme, investigators said.
Robert Innes — who receives hundreds of hitman solicitations per day — said Paez’s request was too specific and urgent.
“The ability to research names and addresses and verify the intended target lived in a particular address. That to me is a red flag. If that information is corroborated, to me that is something that needs to be looked at and that’s why I referred it,” he told NBC Miami.
Innes alleges that the Miami-Dade police did not initially take his flag seriously, and even threatened to send him a cease-and-desist letter if he continued contacting them.
The RentAHitman site has led to the arrest of dozens of people looking to pass off the messy job to someone else.
Both the “Service Request Form” and “Careers Form” have been used many times to arrest people interested in using the services of a hitman on someone they know, including earlier this year, when a Tennessee Air National Guardsman was arrested after applying to be a hitman on the parody website.
In 2021, a Michigan woman admitted to using the site to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband for $5,000 and
Since 2018, at least 120 people from across New York alone have turned to RentAHitman to rub out others in their lives.
Innes told The Post last month that the site is filled with numerous Easter eggs, such as false testimonies and funny advertisements, that should be a dead giveaway to viewers that it is not a serious service.
Desperate people, however, continue to flood his inbox with solicitations even as he hands high-profile arrests over to the cops.
