Monday, August 25, 2008

Police say a man was robbed and killed while he was expecting to meet a woman he met online.

Police in Brooklyn are searching for the thieves who may have lured a man to his own death.

24-year-old Daniel Brandt and a friend arrived at the Sea Rise apartments in Coney Island early Sunday at 1 a.m.

Brandt expected to see a woman he had met online, on craigs list.

Instead, police say two gunmen robbed him on the 4th floor of the building and then shot him in the head.

Police say the woman Brandt met on-line may have set him up, luring him to the building to be robbed.
