Aurora police say a couple was shot and killed after responding to an online advertisement for a used car. Investigators say 18-year-old Kyree Brown admitted to stealing the 2017 Toyota RAV4 and posting it for sale on the Letgo app. When Joseph and Jossline Roland met him to buy the car, with thousands of dollars in cash, Brown allegedly pulled a gun — and shot them as they tried to get away.
According to the arrest affidavit, the Rolands left home at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 14 to meet the seller at Southlands Mall.
Brown said he met the couple at the mall and told them he accidentally brought the wrong vehicle title. He asked them to follow him to an apartment on East Cornell Circle near South Parker Road.
Brown said he pointed the gun at Joseph Roland, while the couple was still in their car, and demanded the money. He said Joseph Roland grabbed his arm and said the car started moving. Brown said the decided to shoot Joseph and accidentally shot Jossline.
Joseph and Jossline Roland died later at the hospital.
Brown allegedly told police he took $3,000 from the couple and tried to set the stolen RAV4 on fire near Havana Street and East Colfax Avenue.

Ah...I missed that.
He was just in the process of turning his life around.
It is not a guess.
It is like cheating on an open book test.
Applies to online buyers as well. Sold a car once on Craig's list. When the guy who had just finished test driving the car around the parking lot was ready to make a deal, there was another waiting behind him and a third en route. Needless to say, I got my asking price which I had realistically calculated as the midpoint between what the dealer had offered as a trade-in and the most optimistic KBB value.
Nothing good occurs in the inner-city after 10:00PM.
I grew up in the 50's and was informed by my parents that the Holy Spirit goes to bed at 10:00PM .
If a deal seems too true to be good,.. it probably is !
Car theft, and then a double homicide , obviously the 'perp' is in the wrong profession and should have a long time to reconsider his occupation alternatives.
[That said, he robbed them of $3000. I have to assume they thought they’d found the deal of a lifetime to get a 2017 for only $3000. Honest people don’t always think cynically.]
Another story that supports carrying a gun when you are alone or with somebody.
Anyone know whether they were voting against law enforcement?
A basic 2017 RAV4 with 60K miles on the odometer, has an average trade in value of ~$15K.
GREED, it’s an ugly sin.

Cash used to be a bargaining tool.
***********************************************
Toyota dealer told me that cash isn’t a bargaining tool any more, they would rather you finance with them.
Sure has that “I don’t give a shit—YOU cannot control me stare”, doesn’t he??? Needed to be shot on sight.
Yep, car dealers don't make any money on the sale of cars anymore. The only money is in financing, extended warranties and service.
Nope. Not a martyr until he is dead. They could make a lot of money for the children of the couple if they would sell lottery tickets for the opportunity to cap the insolent little sob. I’d buy several. He didn’t allegedly do anything, he admits it all. Finish it and move on.
I”m so sick of this endless stream of failed humans. They don’t want equality, they want to be special or to prey on others without consequence. They are feral animals no better than undisciplined and untrainable dogs that need to be exterminated. We had a big mutt once that was fine until you tried to discipline him then he would turn on you. He was dangerous so I killed him.
Yes parking lot of sheriff sounds smart
We always go to such deals armed
They were a pretty couple ...
True
Racist ....or folks most freepers think are racists or some flavor bigot
Will be the ones to win the upcoming civil war
Hate to break to quislings or high minded in general here
