Joseph and Jossline Roland leave behind five children
A Colorado couple was robbed and killed by an 18-year-old after responding to an online advertisement for a used car, according to police.
As People reports, Joseph and Jossline Roland went to the Southlands Mall to buy a 2017 Toyota Rav4 they had seen on the Letgo app by a man named James Worthy.
Upon arrival, the married couple, who had five children together, met 18-year-old Kyree Brown at the mall, who told them he had accidentally brought the wrong vehicle title.
The RAV4 had been stolen a few days earlier, according to police. Brown allegedly convinced the couple to follow him to his apartment on East Cornell Circle near South Parker Road, where he demanded the thousands of dollars in cash they brought to purchase the car.
The suspect allegedly re-listed the car under a different name after the shooting

According to CBS News, the teenager robbed the Colorado couple at gunpoint while they were still inside their car, and fired at them as their vehicle began to move forward, with both parents being killed by gunfire.
Brown allegedly admitted to shooting Joseph, 39, but claimed he then shot Jossline, 40, by accident.
The married parents were pronounced dead at the hospital, within five minutes of each other.
According to the affidavit, Joseph Roland’s 17-year-old daughter told investigators she originally planned to go with him to buy the RAV4, but her stepmother decided to go instead.
According to the arrest affidavit, Brown said he met the couple at the mall and told them he accidentally brought the wrong vehicle title. He convinced them to follow him to an apartment on East Cornell Circle near South Parker Road.

As local Fox News affiliate WHNS reports, Brown allegedly told police he robbed the Colorado couple of $3000 after they had been killed and tried to set the stolen RAV4 on fire near Havana Street and East Colfax Avenue.
After the deadly shooting, police say the teen posted the car for sale on the Letgo app again using the same photo — this time under the user name Jessica Harlan. Police were able to ping Brown’s phone and track down his location.
Investigators determined the likelihood of the alleged killer targeting another victim via the app was significant.
Brown was arrested on August 27, after a chase through Denver. He was formally charged with two counts of first degree murder on Thursday.
According to the arrest affidavit, the Rolands left home at about 11 p.m. on Aug. 14 to meet the seller at Southlands Mall.
