30-year-old Joshua McLean was shot and killed in Nashville, TN over the weekend while trying to finalize a gun sale organized via Craigslist. McLean and his brother drove to a parking lot to meet the men, who had responded to McLean's ad. His brother said he heard two gunshots after McLean got of his car, then exited his own vehicle to find his brother bleeding on the ground.

Neither of the suspects have been identified; they fled in an unknown vehicle. The guns McLean was trying to sell were recovered at the scene of the crime, and he was taken to a hospital, but died later that evening. His wife, Lauren McLean, said that he had sold guns online in the past without any issued. The couple had only been married for six weeks.
