16 y/o Johnny Peluyera from Gary, Indiana was shot dead in front of his FATHER while trying to sell his XBOX after arranging the sale on the app OfferUp!!

He went with his Dad to meet up with 2 men to sell his XBOX One but the transaction took a horrifying turn when he tried to run from the men with the XBOX and was SHOT in the BACK!!

The boy's father, who doesn't want to be named said he was suspicious when the men lured his son to a "secluded location" at the last minute and he spotted one of them holding a handgun!!

He desperately tried to warn his son from inside of the car and yelled to them they were carrying a gun and that's when Johnny tried to run but the men fired 2 shots in his back as he tried to run back to his Dad's car..


Johnny died shortly after paramedics arrived as they weren't able to save him

His devastated mother, Kelly Arroyo said she can't believe her son is gone and said "I just completely don't understand. I don't understand how somebody, over an XBOX, can take somebody's life"

He was set to be a junior at Merrillville High School as police said the suspects are in the area

The 2 men are in their early teens to late 20's and are known in the area

One of them was wearing a black hoodie and the other a grey hoodie and both had basketball style shorts

The public has been warned to remember to always meet at a safe place like a police dept parking lot when dealing with online sales.

A Gofundme page was set up to help raise fund for the teen's cremation with the family already to cover for medical costs related to his older sister's cancer treatment

Over 2800 has been raised so far

Do you think teenagers should be allowed to sell things over the internet and in person even with an adult nearby??

Always sell in front of or inside a police station. Or at least like where there are a ton of people. Like inside a mall or something

The dad should've been there with the son making the transaction or should've made it for him. At the very least he should've gotten out and told his son to come back the second he noticed they wanted to move locations.

Just like with anyone with online related things. Knowing whom you're meeting and meeting in public first is very important.

No, because that's illegal.

They got a handgun but couldn't get or afford an Xbox? They really had to kill a 16 year old for his?

And why did the dad wait in the car? Why was the kid stupid enough to meet at a new meeting spot last minute?

Shouldn't it be easy to find the guys?

Yeah if they were really willing to kill someone for an Xbox why not try robbing a liquor store or something.

Yeah. If they refused to go to the police station, assume they're pieces of shit and bail.

They're probably really stupid.

Or it wasn't about not being able to afford it, but it was a low risk robbery thay turned into murder because the kid tried to run. Robbing a store is high risk with cameras and witnesses. Tricking a teenager into meeting in a different spot to take an easy to sell moderately priced item is far less risky. Unfortunately, it played out poorly.

So there's no difference between a robber and a cop?

This is some logical fallacy internet debate nonsense if I've ever seen it. I literally didn't mention cops at all.

Him running is pretty irrelevant, considering that other people were murdered even when they didn't run. Plus there's no real benefit for them to shoot an intended robbery victim when they risk destroying the device by doing so.

...the key difference is that arresting or shooting a suspect arguably achieves the same objective when it comes to stopping a rulebreaker. Shooting somebody carrying something you're trying to steal is just fucking stupid considering it's probably going to break either from the bullet or when it falls. That's really a no-win situation. Granted, if you were robbed, you *kinda* have some motivation. But when you're the thief... meh.

Of course because they're minorities, duh.

The men were described as two black males in their late teens to early 20s. No further description was provided. Police believe the men are from the area, and are asking for the publics assistance.
