craiglist ‘date’ leads to murder

ONLINE DATE WITH DEATH:

Over at MyCrimeSpace there’s a running joke that the hot girl on MySpace doesn’t really want you. Over there I’ve posted more than a few stories abiut guys who go to meet hot girls that they met on MySpace only to be robbed. It seems that rule now applies to craigslist too.

24-year-old Daniel Brandtof New York City went to a Coney Island apartment to meet what he thought was going to be a woman he met on craigslist. Instead Brandt was shot in the head and two men ran off. Brandt later died at the hospital.

Police say they know who the suspects are and are awaiting search warrants.

Thanks to Gothamist.
