 (CNN) -- A Florida teenager made famous for her extensive bout with hiccups faces first-degree murder charges after meeting a man online and allegedly luring him to a vacant home, where he was robbed of between $50 and $60 and killed, police said. Jennifer Mee, 19, was arrested and charged Sunday -- as were two men, Laron Raiford and Lamont Newton -- hours after Shannon Griffin was found dead. He was shot three times in the chest and once in the shoulder. The victim "friended" Mee on a social networking site last week and the two exchanged messages in subsequent days, according to St. Petersburg, Florida, police. After telling family members around 10 p.m. that he was heading out to meet a woman, Griffin rode his scooter to a vacant home where he had his first face-to-face encounter with Mee, police said. St. Petersburg Police Chief Charles Harmon said at a news conference Monday that investigators were still trying to determine who was holding the gun when it went off. Police said there were signs of a struggle during the robbery. Jennifer Mee, 19, appeared on NBC's TODAY several times in 2007 because of her condition, which caused her to hiccup up to 50 times a minute. Following an anonymous tip, homicide investigators arrested Mee, Newton and Raiford on Sunday. In an interview with WFLZ radio, the teenager's mother, Rachel Robidoux, described her daughter as a gentle, somewhat naive person who had never before gotten into trouble. "Honestly, the best way I can describe it, is that they call it a case of the hiccups, but I call it the curse of the hiccups," she told the newspaper. She called Mee's arrest "a nightmare." St. Petersburg police described Griffin, who had no criminal record, as somewhat of a "social introvert" who lived with a cousin and was often on the computer.
– Jennifer Mee, whose 15 minutes of fame occurred in 2007 when she couldn’t stop hiccuping for five weeks, is back in the news—much more unpleasantly this time: She’s charged with first-degree murder. Mee, 19, allegedly lured a man to a spot in Florida where two others robbed him at gunpoint Saturday. The victim was shot four times, and all three suspects confessed, CNN reports. Mee appeared on Today several times during her hiccup ordeal, but since then she has apparently run away from home twice.
