An Ohio doctor who published a study on “the violent and homicidal adolescent” was gunned down by her teen daughter’s boyfriend and his roommate in an alleged hit against her parents.

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.

The night of the fatal shooting, Bryanna Dutcher texted Evans about the argument in which the suspected gunman suggested murder.

“If I were you, I would have killed her,” Evans said, according to the outlet.

Evans appeared at the home with Payne and waited outside for 15 minutes before his girlfriend confirmed the Dutchers’ locations.
