After police say he shot two 16-year-olds during a deal gone bad from an in-on-line marketplace, one boy died at the scene, the other got seriously hurt. They met up Thursday in a back parking lot at Hartzel Park off Sunderland Road. Things turned into a brawl fast, and that's when the suspect pulled the trigger around 523 pm. Cops rushed in, found the chaos, arrested the guy named Silva right there, and hit him with heavy charges like first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon intending to kill and more for the injuries and not reporting the death. This ain't isolated online sales spots like Facebook Marketplace have risks, like that off-duty cop from New York who got killed trying to buy a car. In a robbery setup, stay smart out there folks, vet your meats and keep safety first when scoring deals online.
