Man slain buying PlayStation for little brother begged for his life

Danny Diaz-Delgado was lured into an alley, ambushed by two men, tied up with tape and forced into the trunk of a car before being executed on the bank of a creek outside Trenton - all while begging for his life.

The grim details of the 20-year-old Trenton man's final moments emerged Friday in court and in arrest documents, detailed by a witness in the case again his alleged killers.
During the detention hearing of the second suspect arrested - 29-year-old Akmal "AK" Alvaranga - Mercer County Assistant Prosecutor Heather Hadley told the court Alvaranga was brought into the robbery planned by co-defendant Rufus Thompson.

Police found Diaz-Delgado on the bank of Assunpink Creek in Hamilton on March 24, still bound and riddled with bullets. He vanished the night before while trying to buy a PlayStation console off Facebook Marketplace for his little brother.

The seller was Thompson, and there was no PlayStation, only a plan to rob the unsuspecting Diaz-Delgado, authorities have said.

based on the names of the people involved, they say that the grandparents should never have been allowed to immigrate to America. That doesn't apply to our president's grandparents though.

I just had a German guy have me come to his house to buy an expensive camera lens off Craigslist. If I was a bad guy I now know where he lives, that he has expensive equipment and that he was a soft target.

I think some police stations allow themselves to be meet points for just this sort of thing.

Not sure if a POC would feel safe near a police station though.
