An Ohio doctor who published a study on “violent and homicidal” adolescents was allegedly gunned down by her teen daughter’s boyfriend and his roommate in a planned hit against the mom and her husband.

Tamela Dutcher was allegedly shot in the face by Christian Evans and Dajameous Payne during an invasion inside her Delaware County, Ohio, home on Aug. 14, according to court records viewed by The Post.

Dutcher, 55, was sitting on the couch when Evans, 20, and Payne, 21, charged into the home and fired a single shot just after midnight, according to WBNS.

Dutcher’s husband rushed to his wife’s aid when the gunshot alerted him.

Evans and Payne shot at the defenseless husband but missed their shot before fleeing the residence, officials said.

First responders were called to the home and rushed Dutcher to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Officials claim Dutcher’s daughter, 18-year-old Bryanna Dutcher, set up the alleged hit on her parents after an argument with her mom over chores she was told to do earlier in the day.

The younger Dutcher was quietly seeing Evans because she didn’t want her alleged “very racist” parents to know she was dating a black man or else she would be kicked out of the house, according to a police affidavit obtained by Oxygen.

Tamela Dutcher co-authored an article titled “The violent and homicidal adolescent. Hearts darkened before time” where she hauntingly discovered that most young female killers target their relatives.

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Roughly one sixth of all Americans under the age of 18 years are African American; in recent years, approximately one half of the youth arrested for homicide are African American,' the article said.

Surprised this was actually printed - usually these academic journals make every excuse possible for "African American" killers - victims of society, poverty, rough upbringing and all that.

Dajameous Payne

No doubt named after the famous Roman Emperor Dajameous, or possibly the less well known Pope Dajameous...

She’d be alive right now if, instead of trying to ‘understand’ teenage violence, she simply worked to extend their sentences for doing such. The old way is still the ONLY WAY that works.

A sane society would try and hang all three.
