Joseph Roland, 39, and his wife Jossline, 40, were killed after arranging to buy a 2017 Toyota RAV4 they had found on the Letgo app. The couple, parents to five children, met an 18-year-old seller at Southlands Mall on August 14, 2020, bringing thousands of dollars in cash. The seller, identified as Kyree Brown, told them he had the wrong title and persuaded them to follow him to a residential complex on East Cornell Circle.

At that location Brown produced a 9mm handgun and demanded the money. Brown later confessed that during a struggle Joseph grabbed for the gunman’s arm and Brown shot him; Jossline was also shot and killed, which Brown later said was accidental. Brown then fled with the cash, set the stolen RAV4 on fire at Havana Street and East Colfax Avenue, and reposted the vehicle for sale under a different name. Police tracked Brown through the Letgo listing and arrested him on August 27, 2020, after a chase. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, theft, and arson.

Does anyone have information about the Rolands, their family, or that evening that could help fill remaining gaps in what happened?
