David Martinez, 38, was shot by Anthony Mott after Martinez and David Ernest Mascarenas, 54, went to the home on South Taft Court allegedly posing as potential buyers for a car listed on Craiglist.
While they were pretending to look at items for sale, they allegedly tied up Mott and took the keys to a Ford. Before they were able to escape, Mott was able to free himself and grabbed a handgun, shooting Martinez and Mascarenas as they were driving away in the Ford and a Mustang, according to Jefferson County Sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.
Martinez crashed the Ford into a nearby home as a result of the shooting. He later died at St. Anthony's Central Hospital.
Under Colorado's "Make My Day" law, a homeowner is able to shoot an intruder who enters their home.

"It does not include the porch, the yard, the driveway, the street outside. The crime must be happening inside the four walls of the victim's home," said Denver7 legal analyst David Beller.

However, after a thorough investigation, First Judicial District Attorney Pete Weir decided not to file charges.

101 related murders to Craiglist....Someone needs to put these fuckers out of business.

A Miami woman is in a coma after reportedly being beaten by a roommate she found on Craigslist more than a week ago.
Byron Mitchell confessed to the attack on Danielle Jones. He was arrested on Feb. 15 and charged with attempted murder domestic violence, Local 10 News in Miami reported. He is being held in jail without bond.
According to the report, Mitchell, who claims to be a health and fitness business owner, said he acted in self-defense.
The incident occurred a week after Mitchell moved into Jones' downtown Miami apartment.
A Gofundme account set up to raise funds for Jones' medical care states Jones was bludgeoned, strangled and had her face mutilated on Valentine's Day. If she wakes up, Jones will need extensive care and rehabilitation.
"(Mitchell) beat her to a coma and ventilator support with various face and skull fractures, multiple injuries to include multiple cuts on her face ... She was celebrating her 23rd birthday," Jones' mother, Aimee Cabo Nikolov, told Local 10 News.
