Father Killed After Responding To Craigslist Ad

Police are still looking for two men who killed a father and wounded his son in South Los Angeles after they responded to a Craigslist posting for a cellphone.

Rene Balbuena, 41, and his 15-year-old son were waiting in their car on 92nd Street and Gramercy Place when two men, believed to have posted the Craigslist ad, approached the car and demanded money, according to police.

His son was treated for a graze wound.

One USC junior, Christina Ramsey, said after this incident, she won't be using Craigslist anymore.
