A Georgia man is accused of using his girlfriend to lure his ex into a fight so that he could murder her.

Colvin Lindsey allegedly orchestrated a fight between his current girlfriend Teandra Brox and ex-girlfriend De'ja McCrary. South Fulton Police say that McCary drove to the Camelot Condominiums in South Fulton on May 25 at the behest of Lindsey, 11 Alive reported over the weekend. 

South Fulton Police Chief Keith Meadows told the outlet that he pushed the two to "fight." Another woman named Aquala Barnes allegedly texted McCrary to inform her where to meet Brox.

When McCrary got to the location and stepped out of her car, she was fatally shot. Meanwhile, McCrary’s 4-year-old child was sitting close by, in her parked car. The child is okay and suffered minor scratches, according to 11 Alive. It’s unclear what the scratches are from. 

Barnes was arrested the day after the killing and charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and being associated with a street gang while participating in a crime, according to online jail records show.

Lindsey was arrested five days after the murder and charged with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and being associated with a street gang while participating in a crime. Brox was arrested on June 1 and charged with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and being associated with a street gang while participating in a crime.

It’s not clear if the three have lawyers. The South Fulton Police Department has not immediately responded to Oxygen.com’s request for comment.

One relative, a cousin, remembered McCrary as a "sweet young lady who definitely didn't deserve this at all” on a tribute wall.  

An aunt of the slain mother wrote, “We will do everything in our hearts to take care of your princess. I pray we see each other again."
