On April 12, 2017, 18-year-old George Concepcion, a Hispanic male, was shot and killed in his Allentown, Pennsylvania, home during what police described as a robbery gone wrong. Concepcion had been trying to sell his Xbox gaming system to help his family pay rent when the sale led to a confrontation.

The person identified in the case was 22-year-old Alonso Blue, who went to Concepcion’s residence intending to steal the console. A struggle ensued and Blue fired a handgun twice; one round struck Concepcion and proved fatal. Blue was arrested and later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and robbery. During sentencing he apologized to the family and said he did not intend to harm George; the court imposed a 30 to 60 year prison term.

If anyone knew George, was involved in the attempted sale, or has information about that day, please share what you know.
