A Clark Atlanta University student was killed after responding to a Craigslist ad on Monday, Feb. 9. James Jones, Jr. was looking to purchase an iPhone 6, but ended up getting killed in a robbery in Cobb County. 

Reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

James Jones Jr. was a sharp-dressed man, especially for a 21-year-old college student. It was common to see him wearing ties to his Clark Atlanta University classes, a friend said late Tuesday.

“He always wore suits, trying to look professional,” Terayle Hill told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “He was ambitious.”

But on Tuesday, Jones was being mourned on campus and by family members. He was robbed, shot and killed Monday night while attempting to buy an iPhone6 from Craigslist, Marietta police said Tuesday afternoon. Less than 24 hours later, investigators had arrested three suspects and charged them with murder.

The police arrested Jordan Baker, 18; Jonathon Myles, 19; and Kaylnn Ruthenberg, 21—and all three were charged with felony murder, armed robbery and aggravated assault.

Our condolences and prayers go out to Jones’ family and friends.
