Daniel John Zeitz, 28, was killed during what began as a Craigslist sale of a PlayStation 4 in Sandy Springs, Georgia, on September 12, 2014. Zeitz met a couple who had responded to the ad in the parking lot of his apartment complex. A struggle over the console ensued. While Nathaniel Vivian sat in the driver’s seat wrestling with Zeitz, Vivian’s then 16-year-old girlfriend, Kayla Dixon, fired a single shot from a .25 caliber pistol. The bullet passed through Vivian’s hand and struck Zeitz in the chest, killing him. Dixon’s 16-month-old child was in the backseat during the incident.

Vivian sought hospital treatment for a gunshot wound to his hand soon after; detectives located the .25 caliber pistol in the vehicle and identified inconsistencies in the couple’s accounts. In June 2016 Dixon, then 18, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and other charges and received a 40-year sentence. In August 2016 a jury found Vivian guilty of felony murder, armed robbery and other charges and he was sentenced to life in prison; his conviction was later appealed and upheld.

Did anyone who knew Daniel or witnessed the meeting notice the couple’s car or record the encounter?
