![[Image: 32E8FE3500000578-3526973-image-a-102_1459973200874.jpg]](http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/04/06/21/32E8FE3500000578-3526973-image-a-102_1459973200874.jpg)
A 10-year-old girl ^ watched in horror as her father, an automotive specialist and gun enthusiast, was gunned down in a Craigslist gun deal gone wrong in Kansas City on Sunday.
The incident happened around 8:30pm, when 39-year-old Jake Brantner (pictured above) agreed to meet a person who responded to his gun-for-sale ad.
Witnesses say that the suspect shot Brantner when the innocent man was still holding a gun, and that Brantner may have even shot back after being fired upon.
At the time of the shooting, the parking lot was busy and filled with cars from Kansas City Royals spectators who made the walk over to Kauffman Stadium.
An off-duty police officer who was working in the nearby Price Chopper heard the gunshots and immediately responded to the scene.
After the shooting, a witness ran over to Brantner's car and tried to help his little girl.

The girl was physically unharmed, though she's probably pretty traumatized. Poor kid.
The suspect fled the scene after fatally shooting Brantner and remains at large. I hope police can track him down soon.
