Ga. - Police in suburban Atlanta say three people
have been arrested in the death of a college student who was fatally
shot after responding to an ad on the online classified ad service
Craigslist.
Marietta
Police spokesman David Baldwin says 21-year-old James Jones Jr., a
junior chemistry major at Clark Atlanta University and a native of
Daytona Beach, Fla., was robbed and gunned down Monday night after
responding to an advertisement for an iPhone 6.
Baldwin says 18-year-old Jordan Baker, 19-year-old Jonathon Myles and 21-year-old Kaylnn Ruthenberg have been arrested on felony murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery charges. Baldwin says the three are being held in the Cobb County jail.
This case comes on the heels of another in which a Marietta, Ga. couple looking to buy a classic car through Craigslist drove to Telfair County in South Georgia and was fatally shot. A man was arrested and charged in their deaths. Police have said robbery appears to have been the motive.
In Order - Kaylnn Ruthenberg, 21, Jonathon Myles, 19, Jordan Baker, 18,

Atlanta said in an email to students that it's reaching out to family
and friends of Jones before finalizing any memorial tributes.
'This
is a devastating loss for the Clark Atlanta University family,'' a
statement read. 'Mr. Jones was a serious scholar and a kind, engaging
spirit whose work and comportment spoke well of the university's core
values and those instilled long ago by those contributing to his
upbringing. In addition to his studies, he was a UPS scholar at Fickett
Elementary School and a science mentor for the HBCU Rising Cares
Mentoring program at Brown Middle School. He also was an amateur
athlete.
