Merry Christmas from Indianapolis (this is just being released, so some of the "whys" may change.)
The current story: A 32-year-old Iraq veteran ( also a husband and father to a one-month-old) responded to an ad for an iPad on Craigslist. He wanted it as a gift for his parents for Christmas.
He went to what one of his friends calls a bad neighborhood in Indianapolis for the transaction (in the middle of the day, to be cautious).
He texted the advertiser and asked "are you here?" when he arrived and got a "yes" response. He was dead five minutes later.
A couple of days later, police tracked his text messages and arrested two teens who have been charged with his murder.
