According to KSAT of San Antonio, there was an arranged transaction through Craigslist that led to a shoot-out. A 21 year old guy was shot by a 37 year old and claimed that the 21 year old was attempting to rob him.
Maymi Russell, the 37 year old, posted an ad on Craigslist selling his camera. The buyer was Sammy Villa. Maymi did a bit of research on the buyer through Facebook.com. When Maymi went to the point of meeting, at the back of IHOP last Monday, he saw a guy who motioned to Rusell for the transaction to be finished. Then, Maymi Russell noticed two more men approaching him and they started demanding for the camera from him. Russell, didn’t meet them without any form of defense, he took his licensed gun and shot Sammy Villa. The two men who accompanied Sammy were John and Cameron McFarland. They fled the scene after the shooting but were later arrested and the 3 of them had been charged for aggravated robbery.
Maymi Russell saved his life by being aware of what’s going on in his surroundings. The police still said that he could have met with the men in a safer place where there are lots of people around. By doing so, you can easily find witnesses just in case you’ll be robbed.
