Slaying Victim Was To Meet Online Seller: DeKalb Officials

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA -- A man found dead behind the wheel of a vehicle on a DeKalb County residential street had gone there to complete a business transaction with a person he'd met online, police said.

Robbery was the most likely motive, police told local media in the death of 51-year-old Sam Norman, who was found dead on March 3.

Norman was planning to buy a drone from the LetGo app, police told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The father of four died in his pickup truck on Indian Manor Drive in Stone Mountain.

The slaying underscores the importance of meeting in a fully visible, public place when conducting buying or selling an item posted on the internet.
