MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — Clark Atlanta University says the killing of a junior chemistry major is a “devastating” loss for the school.
Police in suburban Atlanta say three people have been arrested in the death of 21-year-old James Jones Jr., who was looking to buy an iPhone from a seller on Craigslist.
Marietta Police spokesman David Baldwin says Jones was robbed and fatally shot Monday night after responding to an ad for an iPhone 6.
Baldwin says 18-year-old Jordan Baker, 19-year-old Jonathon Myles and 21-year-old Kaylnn Ruthenberg are jailed on felony murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery charges.
A memorial was held for Jones on Thursday, February 12, 2015 at the University.
