What the hell is wrong with people?

Daniel Zeitz is dead.

Police say the 28-year-old from Roswell, Ga., advertised his PS4 on Craigslist.

He went to a parking lot to meet the potential buyers. It was 9:30 p.m. last Friday night. As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, the potential buyers, seated in a car, allegedly tried to grab the gaming machine from him.

A struggle ensued. During it, a gun was allegedly fired by a 16-year-old girl in the car. It went through her alleged accomplice's hand and then through Zeitz's chest. It killed him.

The teen's alleged accomplice was named as 20-year-old Nathaniel Vivian. Having been himself shot, he went to hospital with the teen girl. He claimed to have been the victim of an unrelated shooting. At some point, however, he allegedly admitted to the events as the police describe.

Zeitz was known as "Phobos" in the gaming community. A friend posted a YouTube video in homage.

His gaming teammates set up a GoFund Me page to help Zeitz's family with the funeral costs. It currently stands at almost $18,000.

Selling on Craigslist, or anywhere else, to strangers always brings with it the potential for trouble. The site itself has a page listing steps to ensure personal safety.

It suggests never meeting in a secluded place or inviting people to your home. It asks buyers and sellers to think about bringing someone with them, so that they are never alone. It recommends a cafe as an example of a safe place.

It also includes the message: "Trust your instincts."

Police say a gun was found in the alleged accomplices' car. Vivian and the teen girl (who has not been named) have been arrested. She is being charged as an adult.

Sandy Springs Police Sgt. Ron Momon told the Journal-Constitution that the girl's 16-month-old child was in the back of the car during the shooting.

Wow, another Craigslist related killing. It is hard for me to imagine that people do not take the ultimate precautions when meeting people on that site. I am not an overly paranoid person but after all the incidents over the last few years I would be extremely hesitant to meet someone under any circumstances from that place.

Such a sad story. An unnecessary death at the hands of awful human beings.

See what the ps4 does to people? See Sony? See what u have created?

Without a doubt, these people should be put in jail for life (or worse). People need to learn that ridiculous stuff like this is unacceptable.

Wow. I'm glad the Wii U isn't popular, no Wii U related crimes in the US.

Why do you say that?

/facepalm

On topic, this is why you always have these meet ups in a very open public place....or in front of a police station!

Feel sorry for the guy, he just wanted to sell his PS4 and he got killed, smh. I don't know, unless I have a concealed carry license and have a gun with me I'm not selling on Craigslist. People who have the intent to commit a crime will do so.

Sony Girl was being sarcastic (I know, being her boyfriend).

We're talking about death here....is sarcasm really needed?

Also it brings the whole cosole war BS here and is entirly Off Topic and not needed.
